Top SchoolQin Zhou is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building and optimizing large-scale distributed systems, specializing in deep learning infrastructure and cloud storage. He has led high-impact projects across NVIDIA, ByteDance, Alibaba, and Microsoft—shipping TensorRT Cloud to GA, scaling pretraining storage for 10,000+ GPU clusters, and driving 100% annual storage growth for cloud file services. Qin combines hands-on systems engineering (I/O, checkpointing, storage protocols) with cross-functional leadership in CICD, incident response, and product ownership. He is pragmatic about performance: his work cut training initialization by 99% and improved pretraining throughput by ~30% versus strong baselines. Based in Kirkland, WA, he pairs rigorous academic foundations (UCSB, Zhejiang University) with a willingness to experiment—an ethos reflected in his Github motto, "Enjoy life, dare to try."
