Adam Zhu
Software Engineer at Tango
Software Engineer
I am a software engineer, leader, and follower. I think holistically, and I approach building things through the frame of cultivating ecosystems. Software, teams, and businesses are as organically nuanced as the people who substantiate them.

I am passionate about facilitating success through clear and inclusive communication between humans and machines both. I grew through my career as a self-starting member of tight teams in early stage startups. I've worked with organizations, projects, and people of a wide range of backgrounds. I've had experience in varying stages of growth in a variety of cross disciplinary roles.

I measure my success by the success of those around me. My greatest passion is sustainable growth, and my strongest traits are my knack for learning, my devotion to honesty, and my openness to experience.

        I worked with Adam for several months on a frontend platform in React, which involved extensive planning of an architectural overhaul. He was able to communicate many complex ideas to me very quickly as a newcomer to React, and demonstrated a very high-level vision that's rare in the industry. He cares deeply about quality and has a very deep holistic knowledge of frontend architecture. He's also deeply comitted to collaboration, and I was impressed with the degree to which he was willing to educate others, including myself, and share knowledge and responsibility with others on the team. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Adam again; he's highly effective and enthusiastic about what he does.

        Adam has been a pleasure to work with at ZeroCater since I have started. In the time that we’ve worked together, the engineering team has been able to count on him to share his wealth of insight, communicate and collaborate effectively, as well as deliver high quality front-end experiences in a short period of time. He has an impressive technical aptitude and is always willing to take the extra time to train and mentor curious teammates. I’m grateful to have been able to work with Adam and highly recommend him for any full stack roles.
Tech might be the only place where the interview is harder than the actual job.
