I BUILD AI-DRIVEN PRODUCTS AS A FULL-STACK ENGINEER
FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA — SHIPPING AGENT AUTOMATION,
RESEARCH TOOLING, AND SIMULATIONS USED BY THOUSANDS.
Hello
About Patrick Zhou
I'm Patrick Zhou.
Full-Stack Engineer and Software Engineer.
I build AI-driven products, developer tooling, and 3D simulations used by thousands.
I shipped agentic AI automation at HeyGen, co-authored genomics research at Stanford Medicine, and I'm a student at Carnegie Mellon SCS.
AI agents, React, Node.js, Python, Go, AWS — and always learning more.
PROFILE＋Experience
Software Engineer — HeyGen
Worked on the AI agentic framework: agents that plan, call tools, and run production workflows, plus the orchestration and evaluation tooling that keeps those runs reliable.
Computational Genomics Researcher — Stanford Medicine
Bulk and single-cell RNA-Seq analysis on HPC with Cell Ranger and Seurat. Co-authored the resulting paper in the European Journal of Human Genetics.
Quantum Computing Researcher — UC Santa Barbara
Hybrid quantum-classical models for mitigating circuit noise in gate-based algorithms, written up as a research paper.
Founder & Lead Developer — STEM Sprout Team
Built and run the platform for a STEM education non-profit, with corporate sponsorship from Google, LinkedIn, Salesforce, and Palo Alto Networks.
Web Designer and Administrator, Software Team — FRC Team 9470
Shoot-on-the-move algorithm and vision-based goal alignment that helped produce the highest clean score in the world among 3,763 teams.
Student Technology Evangelist — AWS North America STEM Education
Spoke at STEM events in Toronto, Seattle, and Vancouver on building scalable projects with AWS.
Student — Carnegie Mellon, School of Computer Science
Previously BASIS Independent Fremont, class of 2026.

AI & Agentic Systems
I built AI agents that plan, call tools, and run real production
workflows — along with the orchestration and evaluation layers
that keep multi-step runs reliable. Most recently at HeyGen. -
Full-Stack Development
End-to-end web applications in React, Node.js, Next.js, PHP,
Firebase, and AWS — from schema design to polished UI.
Bio-Sim runs at 2,000+ users, Basis Books at 200+,
and Block Battle Arena is real-time multiplayer over WebSockets. -
Research & Computational Biology
Single-cell and bulk RNA-Seq pipelines on HPC with Cell Ranger
and Seurat at Stanford Medicine, co-authored in the European
Journal of Human Genetics — plus quantum error-mitigation research at UCSB. -
Open Source & Utilities
I've built open source tools like Discord UI Collapsible,
Discord Search Deleter, Spotify Key Toggle, IP Log API,
and AP Classroom Reviewer — all solving real workflows.
