Raymond Zhou
Summary
🤩
RockstarRaymond Zhou is a software engineer with five years of experience bringing robust back-end solutions to education and healthcare systems. A physics graduate, he approaches engineering like an experimentalist—breaking systems into components to diagnose problems and design practical fixes. At edX he led backend work on course authoring tools and a Google Cloud ingestion project expected to generate significant revenue, and contributed focused CMS improvements to the high-profile Open edX platform. His earlier work at MEDITECH involved HL7/XML interoperability and emergency fixes for hospital EHR integrations, demonstrating strong domain knowledge in health information exchange. Comfortable on-call and versed in observability, he pairs production-minded coding with security awareness from participation in cross-functional working groups. Outside work he channels the same problem-solving mindset into rock climbing, hiking, and multi-day camping trips.
