Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolXianing Zhang is a Principal Software Engineer based in Sydney with over a decade of experience building and operating large-scale data platforms and distributed systems. Currently leading an 8-person team at Westpac BT, she architects cloud-native, high-availability data pipelines—designing Spark-based migration and real-time streaming into DataStax Astra and implementing storage-attached indexing and enterprise-grade cloud security (private link, TLS, SSO, BYOK). Her background at DataStax and IBM spans deep operational expertise in Cassandra/DSE, Spark, Solr and DB2, with a strong focus on troubleshooting, diagnostics tooling and production incident resolution. Known for blending hands-on coding with platform-wide observability (Splunk) and pragmatic leadership, she translates complex regulatory and security requirements into auditable, scalable solutions. An uncommon strength is her end-to-end fluency from low-level database internals to cloud migration security, enabling both rapid delivery and robust operational risk control.
