Senior🎓
Top SchoolSichen Zhao is a Software Engineer III based in Boston with nine years of experience building backend services and web applications, currently advancing cloud and networking products at F5. He holds a MS in Information Systems from Northeastern and a background in Management Information Systems, which informs his strong blend of full-stack web design (React/Node/HTML/JS) and backend engineering in Go and Java. At Coinbase he built a gRPC-based crypto watchlist service and helped migrate payment functionality toward microservices; earlier roles improved search and NLP-driven features using ElasticSearch and AWS. An active open-source contributor, he has fixed and hardening work in the CNCF Fluid project—particularly on Alluxio runtime, memory/tiered storage bugs, and FUSE-related fixes—showing attention to systems-level robustness. Colleagues describe him as collaborative, hard-working, and pragmatic, with a less-obvious interest in embedded systems (RTEMS/FreeBSD) that signals versatility across cloud and low-level development.
