Summary
Jinghao Zhao is a Senior Software Engineer at Google with a decade of experience building high-performance networked systems and mobile infrastructure. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from UCLA, where his research focused on networked and mobile systems, security, and mobile edge computing. Jinghao’s industry work spans production engineering at Google, a 5G Core Network internship at Meta where he implemented extensible GTP modules and eBPF-based data planes, and early roles optimizing wireless latency at MobIQ. He combines research rigor with production-grade engineering, routinely turning systems-level research into deployable, low-latency solutions. Based in Seattle, he brings a strong background in distributed data planes and mobile networking to large-scale cloud services. One less obvious strength is his track record of bridging academic research and real-world telecom implementations, making him effective at shipping cutting-edge networking features.
