Summary
Yongqing Zhu is a software engineer with 10 years of experience specializing in C/C++ and Python for large-scale storage and distributed systems. Currently on TikTok’s US Storage Infra team, he works on RPC framework integration and a distributed journal system, building on prior hands-on experience at NetApp where he led SnapMirror copy-to-cloud features, REST APIs, and Kubernetes storage integrations. He brings deep systems expertise—multi-threading, networking protocols, Linux/FreeBSD internals—and practical knowledge of data protection, replication strategies, and exploit techniques that inform secure, robust design. His background in high-performance network security (SURICATA, DPDK, Hyperscan) and a propensity for low-level debugging and tooling (GDB, Vim, Wireshark) make him adept at tackling both performance and security challenges. Based in Wuxi with graduate training from UC Riverside, he combines product-focused engineering with a pragmatic, security-aware approach to distributed storage infrastructure.
