Profile: https://flows.cv/zhengzhu

I care deeply about people. I'm a cultural driver and pillar of community in all areas of my life. At work, I'm the one setting up processes to denoise our oncall, and I'm the one hosting inclusive events for my coworkers, staying sensitive to participants' individual needs and circumstances. Outside of work, I'm the one who shows up most consistently to events and knows every attendee by name and face.
As a result, I've been privileged to have partners, both internal and external, trust me to faithfully represent their interests -- finding solutions and compromises when available and having honest, transparent conversations when needed.
