Senior🎓
Top SchoolMingwei Zhang is a Senior Systems Engineer at Cloudflare with 12 years of experience building observability pipelines and tooling for Internet-scale routing data. He combines a strong research background—a PhD focused on DDoS defense and inter-domain routing security—with hands-on engineering in Rust, Python, and modern web stacks like React and Next.js. As founder and maintainer of BGPKIT, he publishes open-source tools that power BGP monitoring and analysis used by practitioners and researchers. His prior work at CAIDA and the University of Oregon reflects deep expertise in measurement-driven network security and data science. Based in San Diego, he excels at turning academic insight into production systems that watch and protect global routing infrastructure. A less obvious strength is his blend of kernel and web experience—from a Red Hat QA internship to shipping frontend interfaces—enabling him to bridge low-level systems and user-facing products.
