Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMay Zhang is a seasoned Software Quality Engineer with over 15 years of experience driving test automation, CI/CD, and cloud resilience for large-scale SaaS systems. Based in Mountain View, she has led infrastructure and chaos-testing efforts at Intuit, architecting cross-region failover using ArgoCD, AWS S3, and Route 53 to minimize downtime. A hands-on Go and Kubernetes practitioner, she’s contributed to prominent open-source GitOps projects like Argo CD and gitops-engine, improving health checks, namespace handling, and Helm/OCI support. Her work blends deep automation (from the Overwatch test framework that standardized QuickBooks testing to microservice test suites) with operational hardening, making deployments both faster and more reliable. Colleagues rely on her for pragmatic, system-level solutions that uncover subtle failure modes before they hit production.
