Weihan Zheng is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native, event-driven systems and developer platforms across finance and fintech. Currently at Squarepoint, he previously led platform engineering at Arta Finance where he combined Python, TypeScript, Kubernetes and IaC (Pulumi/Helm) to productionize scalable infrastructure. He has deep backend experience in reactive, CQRS/event-sourced architectures from work on core trading systems and has contributed to high-profile open-source realtime projects like socket.io—adding namespace/query support and robustness fixes across client and server. Comfortable across full-stack, DevOps and platform domains, he pairs hands-on coding (Scala, Python, Go/TS ecosystems) with operational ownership in GCP/Kubernetes environments. He also brings teaching experience and cross-disciplinary business training from NUS, offering a pragmatic blend of engineering rigor and product awareness.
