Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXiaoming Zhou is a seasoned software architect specializing in security with 11 years of experience building high-performance, production-grade systems from IoT and NAC to SOAR, XDR and vulnerability response. Based in Sunnyvale, he blends deep systems and protocol knowledge—rooted in a PhD in electrical and computer engineering—with hands-on expertise in distributed computation, cluster management, and reactive architectures. At ServiceNow he architects unified data models and hybrid visual/textual engines for security operations while previously designing the first commercial botwall and high-throughput IPS engines. He is fluent across languages and platforms (Java, Go, C/C++, Kubernetes, serverless) and repeatedly applies foundations like state machines, actor models and signal processing to hard security problems. Colleagues value his ability to turn layered, theoretical concepts into pragmatic, auditable solutions that scale in the cloud. Outside work he’s intellectually curious—often pondering the intersections of computation, communication and control and why complex systems tend to have layers.
