Senior🎓
Top SchoolXinghai Zhang is a Senior Software Engineer in Seattle with 12 years of experience building user-facing products and large backend systems. He has delivered scalable features across consumer and developer-focused teams at Amazon—working on Alexa education, engine, and communications—and now drives backend work at TaxBit. Comfortable spanning front-end surfaces to complex distributed backends, he brings practical product sense from both startup-like teams and large-scale engineering organizations. His early work on vehicle simulation and strategy with the University of Michigan Solar Car Team hints at a systems-first mindset and an aptitude for translating simulation into real-world constraints. Known for a hands-on approach (and a playful GitHub persona: "This guy pulls. This guy forks."), he combines steady execution with a willingness to experiment and contribute across the stack.
