Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Zhao is a computer science student at Rice University with 11 years of hands-on experience across software engineering, data engineering, and operational roles, now headed to Jane Street as a Trading Desk Operations Engineer. He has shipped full-stack internal tools integrated with GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), and Istio, and has applied machine learning and visualization to support collegiate sports performance and simulation-based learning. A practiced mentor, Nathan has taught Python and advanced algorithms to 200+ students and built educational autograders and custom ML libraries to simplify complex concepts. His background balancing high-throughput retail operations (managing inventory and catering for a student-run coffeehouse) with production engineering gives him a pragmatic edge in reliability and scalability. Nathan’s experience spans cloud-native infrastructure, REST APIs, and applied analytics, and he brings a knack for turning academic theory into practical tooling that broadens who can operate systems.
