Senior🎓
Top SchoolZihan G is a mining engineering team lead and software engineer with nine years of experience building data and operations systems for finance and crypto. At NYDIG he helped found the Bitcoin Data team and now co-leads Mining Engineering, splitting time between hands-on development of site-control services (curtailment, monitoring, security, inventory) and mentorship/project leadership. His background spans high-throughput ETL, node management, and production APIs from roles at Citadel, Tumblr, and academic research, giving him deep expertise in distributed data systems and operational reliability. He is fluent across the stack—Python, Spark, Airflow, Snowflake, AWS—and has operationalized Bitcoin nodes and mining site software in production. Notably, he combines formal training in computational logic and statistics with practical experience running repossessed mining infrastructure, a blend that favors rigorous, data-driven decision making under real-world constraints. Based in New York, he focuses on delivering auditable, scalable systems that bridge research-grade thinking and production engineering.
