Top SchoolShahar Zimmerman is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building backend systems and APIs, currently working in Cloud Data Engineering at Netflix. He has a strong track record at scale from two roles at Uber—where he designed shipment tracking services that ingested and indexed near‑real‑time GPS data, integrated ML training pipelines, and led data migrations—to early backend work on Ruby on Rails and distributed services on AWS. Comfortable across Go, Kafka, Cassandra, Cadence, and large data flows, he blends hands‑on system design with production operational know‑how. Trained in both Computer Science and Biochemistry/Molecular Biology, he brings a data‑driven, multidisciplinary perspective to problems that benefit from both engineering rigor and scientific thinking.
