Ethan Zhou

I am a senior software engineer with deep experience building scalable, production-grade systems and AI-enabled products. I designed and led full-stack development of a Copilot product using React, TypeScript, and Java microservices, engineered RAG pipelines with GPT-4 and Qdrant, and integrated OpenAI and Gemini models into marketing tools to accelerate personalized content generation.

Previously, I built real-time market data systems in C++ and Redis that handled millions of updates per second with sub-5 ms latency, migrated serialization to FlatBuffers to cut message size and parsing time significantly, and implemented Kafka-based publish/subscribe middleware to support massive fan-out. I also containerized and automated microservice deployments with Docker and Kubernetes and created monitoring dashboards that improved incident response and uptime.

I consistently focus on performance, reliability, and developer productivity: I drove CI/CD standardization, mentored engineers, rolled out platform improvements across teams, and co-launched marketplaces and libraries that reduced feature delivery time and increased adoption. I seek opportunities to deliver high-impact systems and AI-driven products at scale.
