Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeon Zhang is a Senior Software Engineer in Toronto with 10 years of experience building reliable, production-grade systems across cloud, finance, and developer platform domains. Trained in telecommunications and aerospace and rooted in hardware and computer vision research, he brings a pragmatic engineering mindset that favors solutions that "just work"—from a camera-tracking algorithm that doubled mobile frame rates to automated API publishing systems at RBC. At IBM he built API code-generation and monitoring tooling that scaled across 100+ developers, and he now ships large-scale services at Google. Comfortable leading squads and mentoring researchers, he blends low-level performance insight with cloud-native architecture to solve real-world problems. An entrepreneur at heart, he also co-founded an AR navigation startup, demonstrating curiosity for user-facing innovation beyond backend systems.
