Patrick Zhang is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with a decade of experience building AI-driven and fintech platforms that automate routine work so humans can focus on higher-value problems. He has led engineering at startups and scale-ups—driving SOC2 compliance, global distributed teams, and multi-million dollar growth through productized recommendation and ranking optimizations. At Protecht he helped 10x revenue in three years and scaled engineering through a $25M Series A; at Trellis he delivered FI partnerships and boosted revenue-per-visitor by over 30%. Now based in Los Angeles as CTO of Shoreline Medical Administration and editor at InfoQ, he blends hands-on technical strategy with clear communication to both engineering teams and industry audiences. He pairs an MIT Sloan executive education and an MBA mindset with early founder experience shipping consumer apps and APIs, making him equally comfortable with product, people, and operational rigor.
