Summary
Ming Zhu is an Optical Transport Network engineer with 9 years of experience designing, deploying, and operating high-capacity DWDM/OTN infrastructure for hyperscalers and telecom vendors. Currently leading global OTN buildout, automation and architecture optimization at ByteDance, he previously drove operational excellence for AWS DWDM and defined subsea and long-haul optical systems at Nokia. His background blends hands-on lab research (PhD work at Georgia Tech) in ultra‑dense WDM, radio‑over‑fiber and coherent access networks with production-grade skills in DSP, VPI Photonics simulations and software tools like Matlab, C and C#. Ming is known for translating advanced research—MIMO-enhanced RoF, LO‑free bidirectional designs and synchronization for OFDMA backhaul—into practical, cost‑effective network solutions and standards. Based in Hangzhou, he brings a rare mix of R&D depth and global datacenter operational experience that speeds feature delivery and improves reliability at scale.
