Top SchoolRex Zhou is a founder-engineer who co-founded and leads engineering at Magic Eden, building a decentralized NFT marketplace and core web3 infrastructure including MSigner, M2, MMM, and ERC721M. He brings deep platform and systems expertise from senior engineering roles at Checkr—where he architected the API gateway, gRPC/IDL frameworks, k8s integration, and created widely adopted open-source projects Flagr and OpenMock—and from building high-throughput experimentation infrastructure at Uber. At Facebook he worked on AI infrastructure and contributed to PyTorch dev tooling, demonstrating experience across AI, distributed systems, and blockchain. Rex pairs research-level training (Ph.D. work in computer science) with pragmatic production engineering, driving migrations from monoliths to microservices and instituting RFC/design cultures. He has a track record of shipping performance-critical systems that scale to thousands of experiments or services while also open-sourcing tools that hundreds of companies rely on. Based out of “No man's land,” he blends startup grit with enterprise-grade architectural rigor.
