Summary
Walker Zhang is a senior software development engineer with 18 years of experience designing architecture, infrastructure tooling, and test automation across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). He has a strong track record at Splunk and Microsoft building CI/CD pipelines, end-to-end QA automation frameworks, canary deployments, and telemetry services that measurably improved quality and reduced flaky tests by 85%. Equally comfortable in backend and frontend automation, he has driven vendor teams to 90% UI coverage and created tooling for dynamic test data and containerized test environments. Data- and detail-oriented, he combines hands-on coding in Java, Python, C#, and JS with project leadership—planning, resourcing, and delivering complex initiatives. Based in Seattle, he also augments his engineering with machine-learning coursework and a software-engineering degree from the University of Toronto.
