Summary
Jiaheng Zhao is a pragmatic software engineer based in Waterloo with a nine-year track record building backend and full-stack systems using Python, C#, C++, Java and SQL. He has hands-on experience with Spring Cloud, ASP.NET Core, Angular/Vue frontends and data tools like Redis and MyBatis, having delivered production APIs, migration projects and vehicle-tracking integrations. His background spans industrial automation and logistics — from AGV websocket services at Toyota to GPS-enabled transportation routing with Google OR-Tools — showing a knack for turning constrained optimization into deployable features. Comfortable refactoring legacy code and modernizing CI/CD and version control, he blends practical systems thinking with a focus on reliability and performance. Despite a terse GitHub bio, his employer-facing work reflects steady contribution to real-world products rather than public open-source spectacle.
