Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Zhu is a CTO and seasoned software leader with 11 years building and scaling consumer and restaurant-facing platforms, currently leading engineering at TollBit after a decade of rapid product innovation at Toast. He has founded multiple startups and shipped mission-critical integrations—like Order with Google, Reserve with Google, and a sped-up DoorDash integration—that drove new revenue channels and rapid go-to-market launches. Equally comfortable in code and strategy, Martin has repeatedly been the primary implementer and maintainer of core systems (e.g., Toast Cash and the Toast Takeout app) while also hiring, mentoring, and managing high-performing teams. His background includes building conversational and knowledge-assistance startups and contributing to distributed data tooling early in his career, reflecting a blend of product intuition and systems-level engineering. Based in Nashua, NH and trained at Brown University, he is deeply interested in security and practical, reliable engineering of large-scale consumer systems. A less obvious strength: he consistently stays hands-on even in leadership roles, ranking in the top percentiles of individual engineering productivity while leading teams.
