Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric Zhao is a Strategic Cloud Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing and delivering cloud-native data platforms and large-scale web applications across Australia. Currently at Google Professional Services, he blends deep GCP expertise—spanning Dataflow, BigQuery, Kubernetes/Istio and CI/CD—with a strong background in full-stack engineering from roles at carsales and consulting engagements. He has contributed to the GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules project, adding Terraform support for core GCP services (Cloud Functions, BigQuery, Bigtable), highlighting his ability to bridge infrastructure as code with provider APIs. Known for pragmatic architecture and reliable delivery, Eric is comfortable moving between high-level design and low-level implementation, having built ingestion pipelines, networked cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing platforms. He holds engineering and IT degrees from Monash and Swinburne, and often surfaces production-focused fixes that smooth integration pain points not obvious from architecture diagrams alone.
