Senior🎓
Top SchoolJun Zhao is a Senior Software Engineer in Vancouver with 10 years of experience building resilient, high-throughput distributed systems and data platforms. Currently at Brex, he architects stream processing with Apache Flink and previously led design and implementation of a Kubernetes operator and CDC control plane to reliably replicate Postgres to Kafka. His background includes core contributions to managed database services at Microsoft—building zone-redundant HA, orchestration for automatic failover, and high-performance thread pooling for MySQL—plus production-grade migration tooling and transactional event publishing. Comfortable across systems, databases, and event infrastructure, he combines deep debugging and performance optimization skills with a history of driving projects from feasibility to GA. An unusual thread through his career is applying academic rigor (Waterloo thesis work and blockchain-based lending research) to pragmatic, operational engineering problems.
