Top SchoolLei Zhu is a staff software engineer and hands-on team leader with 11 years of experience building cloud-native test platforms and developer productivity tooling for large-scale e-commerce and web infrastructure. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he architected Walmart’s Plexus testing platform and the Magellan Node.js test automation framework that became defaults across Global eCommerce, demonstrating deep expertise in scalable test orchestration, CI/CD, and browser/mobile automation. He combines pragmatic solution-first engineering with active participation in implementation, favoring resilient, highly available designs using Kubernetes, Selenium/Appium, Kafka, and cloud storage. Previously he led cross-location QA and SDET teams at GREE and Baidu, and brings strong mentorship skills alongside full-stack system design. An uncommon strength is his focus on making test infrastructure not just functional but performant at scale—supporting tens of thousands of test runs per day—while standardizing processes across large organizations.
