Philip Zhao is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-SLO, large-scale applications across finance and tech, currently contributing at Hidden Road in New York. He has held senior and staff engineering roles at Robinhood, Two Sigma, Google, and Facebook, bringing deep expertise in Java, Python, and stochastic processes to systems that demand reliability and low-latency. Philip combines a strong quantitative background—a 3.95 BA in Computer Science, Economics, and Mathematics from UW–Madison—with hands-on production work spanning trading systems and consumer platforms. He’s comfortable leading teams and technical direction while still shipping code, and his varied internships and early roles show a pattern of rapidly progressing responsibility. An avid learner, he has supplemented his formal studies with UC Berkeley summer coursework and even accredited personal training certification, hinting at disciplined, cross-domain interests.
