Zenghui Shi is a Manager of Software Engineering at Red Hat with a decade of experience building and operating high-performance networking stacks for cloud and edge platforms. He progressed from kernel and DPDK test development to leading OpenShift networking efforts, blending deep C/Linux embedded expertise with CI/CD and cloud-native operations. His open-source contributions span SR-IOV and OVN-Kubernetes projects, where he improved deployment, image build pipelines, and reliability for critical CNI and device-plugin components. Zenghui’s background in embedded Linux and optical systems gives him a pragmatic systems-level perspective that informs both low-level optimization and large-scale orchestration. Colleagues rely on him for solving tricky lifecycle and configuration issues in Kubernetes networking, and for automating OVN/OVN-Kubernetes integration at the edge. Based in Beijing, he combines hands-on engineering with management of cross-functional teams to deliver production-ready network features.
