Top SchoolZhuowei Zhang is a versatile software engineer with 15 years of experience across backend, testing, and web development, now building messaging system AI products in the San Francisco Bay Area. Comfortable in C++, Go, Java, Python, and JavaScript, he brings a rare combination of low-level systems expertise—demonstrated by contributions to projects like ish-app/ish (implementing FPU and x86 instructions) and decaf-emu—and pragmatic backend and QA tooling experience from roles at TikTok and Attentive. He has shipped full-stack features for mobile and web platforms and developed agentic testing and API automation frameworks for large-scale services. A dual MS in Computer Engineering and Computer Science and a BS from USC underpin a research-minded approach to engineering problems. Outside work he builds agents and robots, reflecting a hands-on curiosity that informs both his systems-level code and product-focused engineering.
