Summary
Peiqin Zhao is a Software Engineer with a decade of experience building high-performance database and distributed systems, most recently focused on GenAI, vector search, and analytics. At Google she worked across Firestore, BigQuery Data Canvas, and AlloyDB ScaNN integration, contributing to production features that improve realtime sync and large-scale querying. Now based in Mountain View and currently at a stealth startup, she combines deep systems knowledge with practical product delivery from intern projects that instrumented IoT telemetry to large teams shipping Firestore performance improvements. Trained at Carnegie Mellon and with hands-on research experience in control systems, she brings a strong analytical foundation to engineering tradeoffs. Outside work she’s an avid skateboarder — a hobby that mirrors her pragmatic, risk-aware engineering style.
