Summary
Zihao Chen is a software engineer based in San Francisco with nine years of experience building backend systems, CI/CD pipelines, and data-processing solutions for companies like Apple, Google, and AMD. He has deep practical experience validating and optimizing ML infrastructure—improving CI performance, automating test orchestration, and packaging GPU-focused PyTorch components for ROCm. Zihao combines cloud-native deployments (AWS, GCP) with production services he helped ship, from face-recognition two-factor auth to robot monitoring with sensor fusion and SLAM. Comfortable across Python, Docker, Jenkins, and distributed systems, he repeatedly bridges research-grade ML models and reliable engineering practices. Known for reproducing hard-to-find regressions and shaving build times via parallelization and recovery mechanisms, he brings a detail-oriented, pragmatic approach to scaling complex developer workflows.
