Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohnny Zhong is a Data Platform Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building large-scale data and infrastructure platforms, currently shaping data systems at Gusto in San Francisco. He specializes in AWS-native architectures, Presto/Trino clusters, Airflow on Kubernetes, and end-to-end data pipelines that process hundreds of terabytes daily. Johnny has a strong DevOps pedigree—Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD—combined with practical data warehousing expertise (S3, Hive) and Python/SQL fluency. He’s led cross-functional initiatives and built self-service tools that let analysts run workflows and productionize ML models, mentoring teams along the way. Early-career roles from datacenter administration to support engineering gave him a rare operational lens—he’s as comfortable debugging infrastructure ops as he is architecting analytic systems.
