PROFILE

Zixin Zhou

Worked across open-source repositories to enhance backend reliability, observability, and release safety. In envoyproxy/ai-gateway, addressed data consistency by fixing the translation of the anthropic-beta header for correct opt-in handling in the AWSAnthropic backend, using Go and targeted testing. In open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation, delivered end-to-end Spring Pulsar instrumentation, enabling trace collection for message-driven Java applications with new modules and build configuration updates. Improved CI/CD pipelines and feature flag management in canva/opentelemetry-collector-contrib and grafana/opentelemetry-operator, expanding Windows test coverage and introducing version gating. Demonstrated depth in API development, agent instrumentation, and cross-platform release engineering.
