About

Hi, I’m Zhenzhong Tang, a Software Engineer at Arista Networks and a former Computer and Information Science (CIS) master’s student at the University of Pennsylvania. My passion lies in building robust, high-performance systems. At Arista Networks, I work on EOS (Extensible Operating System), focusing on the development and optimization of EVPN-VXLAN features that support Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity in data center networks.

Previously, at Amazon and Western Digital, I optimized large-scale ML systems for ad recommendations and firmware performance. I also had some hands-on cloud admin experience with Docker and Kubernetes on my VPS and home server.

Always eager to tackle challenging problems and learn new skills!
