Top SchoolYi Zhang is a Staff Security Engineer in San Jose with nine years of focused experience securing product lifecycles, CI/CD pipelines, and application architecture at The Trade Desk after prior roles at Amazon Lab126 and Red Hat. He blends hands-on security automation, threat modeling, and SSDLC leadership with deep systems knowledge from years working on Linux server integration and smart-device testing. At Amazon he applied machine learning for Android malware detection and automated risk assessments for IoT devices, a less obvious thread that ties his embedded and cloud security expertise together.
