Senior🎓
Top SchoolKen Zhong is a NYC-based senior software engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack web applications using Python/Django, React/Redux, Ruby on Rails, and GraphQL. At Bloomberg and prior roles at Blink Health and SumZero he delivered scalable features, led major refactors (including a frontend cache and rewritten search with multi-index Elasticsearch), and mentored junior engineers. He combines backend systems work—microservices, AWS SQS, PostgreSQL—with front-end performance engineering and testing discipline (Jest, RSpec, Storybook). With a background that spans tech and public policy research, he brings strong product sensitivity and attention to privacy/compliance (GDPR work) to engineering decisions. Outside of work he pursues photography and tennis, which reflect his attention to detail and steady focus.
