Eric Zheng is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable authentication and orchestration systems at Ping Identity, currently shaping the PingOne platform and leading backend services for features like the Flows no-code editor. He combines deep backend expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Cassandra, and Kafka with practical experience in NodeJS/TypeScript, React, and platform tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, AWS) to deliver observable, production-grade microservices. Previously he led test automation for PingDirectory, creating frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and a custom test parallelization tool that noticeably improved developer velocity and release confidence. Comfortable owning both APIs and runtime UIs, he frequently bridges QA and engineering to drive quality initiatives and migrations—most recently moving an acquired product from MongoDB to Cassandra and introducing platform libraries for Node services. Based in Austin, he pairs a pragmatic engineering mindset with a preference for automating toil (he’s a heavy Docker and zsh user) to streamline workflows and observability.
