Summary
Zach Mcgohan is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable backend systems, currently focused on Salesforce’s mobile platform from Anchorage, Alaska. He has a strong track record at large cloud and enterprise organizations, including designing automated procurement and delivery systems for Azure at Microsoft and developing containerized streaming development environments at Capital One. Zach brings hands-on expertise across microservices, CI/CD, Azure, C#, Python, and distributed systems, and has worked with HPC and testing frameworks earlier in his career. He’s comfortable owning end-to-end service lifecycles—design, implementation, deployment, and monitoring—and collaborating with suppliers and cross-functional partners to shrink cycle times. Having moved from research and intern roles into senior engineering at a major SaaS company, he combines academic rigor from Ohio State with practical production experience. Based in Alaska, he pairs cloud-scale systems know-how with a background in performance tuning for MPI/OpenMP applications—an uncommon mix for mobile platform engineers.
