Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLong Zhao is a seasoned web developer based in Beijing with 11 years of experience building user-facing and backend systems for companies like Zhihu and IBM. He has a solid foundation from Beihang University (BS and MS in Computer Science) and a track record of pragmatic engineering: upgrading Apache, designing template engines, and refactoring legacy code to reduce complexity. At IBM and earlier roles he built tools that noticeably improved developer productivity—such as an automatic code submission utility and a lightweight monitoring and visualization stack for trading systems. Currently contributing at Zhihu, he blends backend, frontend, and tooling experience to deliver maintainable web platforms at scale. Colleagues would describe him as an engineer who favors practical refactors and time-saving developer tools, and who brings a quiet curiosity—he once implemented a minimal database and a syntactic log analyzer during an internship.
