Raymond Zhang

I’m a Senior Software Engineer focused on building scalable web platforms and distributed services, leveraging C#, .NET, and modern JavaScript frameworks like Angular and the MERN stack. I specialize in backend API development, cloud-native microservices, and data-driven applications across SaaS and analytics environments.

In my recent role at Sprout Social, I developed backend services with C# and ASP.NET Core to power social media analytics and engagement workflows, exposing RESTful APIs consumed by Angular and React reporting interfaces. I also implemented Node.js and Express-based microservices to process high-volume engagement data, store analytics results in MongoDB-backed services, and deliver high-frequency data visualization for enterprise customers.

I bring a strong engineering mindset around reliability and performance—building automated test suites with xUnit and integration tests across multiple microservices, and improving deployment stability through containerized strategies using Docker and Kubernetes. I’ve also improved MongoDB query performance via indexing and optimization to support analytics dashboards handling large datasets.

Previously, at Reputation.com and Uptake, I delivered RESTful APIs, integrated frontend modules with backend services, and improved response times with optimized queries and caching. I’m at my best in agile product environments where I can design dependable systems, iterate quickly, and ensure APIs and data models scale with real-world usage.
