Patricia Lin
Senior Software Engineering Manager @ Zscaler
About
• I build and scale engineering organizations. Over 20+ years I've led teams across enterprise security and healthcare technology — currently running a 25-person org at Zscaler spanning backend, frontend, DevOps, QA, and design systems, while heading engineering at i-Human Patients (Kaplan), where a platform overhaul I led moved NPS by 44 points.• My focus is on the intersection of technical strategy and business outcomes — making sure the work engineering does actually moves the needle. That means tight alignment with product and executive stakeholders, a clear roadmap, and teams that are built to execute.• I care deeply about engineering culture: hiring well, developing leaders, and creating environments where great engineers do their best work. I've built teams from the ground up and inherited ones that needed a reset — both have made me a stronger leader.• I'm looking for my next leadership challenge — a seat at the table where engineering strategy, org design, and business outcomes converge.
