@zhuochen

I build scalable full-stack web applications, APIs, and AI-powered social and enterprise products.

At Meta, I lead backend architecture for interactive social media features, building scalable Python and Node.js APIs, secure authentication, and AI-driven content personalization and moderation workflows using OpenAI and Anthropic APIs.

Previously at Oracle, I engineered reliable cloud applications and backend services for enterprise clients. Across React, Next.js, FastAPI, Flask, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, I've delivered production-ready features, optimized data models and performance, and mentored engineers on testing, documentation, and code quality.
