Summary
Scott Zhang is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building scalable, high-availability services and data pipelines across finance and cloud platforms. He has shipped distributed systems and RESTful APIs at Apple and Microsoft, where his work on Azure Managed Disk APIs and granular telemetry meaningfully reduced latency and improved VM deployment times. Earlier roles at Bank of America involved large-scale ETL, streaming, and MapReduce systems that processed tens of gigabytes daily, and he holds an MS in Computer Information Security from Johns Hopkins. Comfortable across Java and Python, Scott blends backend systems engineering with hands-on data engineering and operational monitoring, and has a track record of turning production telemetry into actionable performance improvements. A pragmatic engineer, he also has experience building responsive single-page apps and open-sourced UI plugins early in his career, signaling both breadth and a longstanding habit of sharing useful tooling.
