Jerry Zhou is a systems-focused engineer with a decade of experience designing low-level software and security for leading hardware and AI platforms. Based in Sunnyvale, he has driven firmware, kernel drivers, and RISC-V microcontroller security at NVIDIA and now works on LLM training infrastructure at Microsoft AI. Comfortable digging into assembly, hardware traces, and ISA-level details, he pairs that depth with the ability to ship polished native apps and web services. Known for squashing cross-team “showstopper” fires, he also architects power and security features for next-gen chips—bringing practical hardware-aware solutions to complex problems. His background includes research on OS scheduler overhead and large-scale cloud-native tooling, reflecting a rare blend of academic curiosity and production-scale engineering.
