I’m Eric Zheng, a senior software engineer with 12 years of experience taking production systems from concept to enterprise scale, spanning ERP, professional services, retail energy, healthcare, and financial data. I focus on building reliable, low-latency pipelines and regulated, high-trust systems where correctness, security, and observability matter. Recently, I’ve been deeply focused on applied AI/ML—building LLM assistants, retrieval-augmented generation and grounding pipelines, and agentic workflows that serve tens of thousands of users. I’m comfortable across .NET, Python, and modern ML tooling, and I enjoy connecting research, engineering execution, and domain stakeholders to deliver measurable impact.

Senior Software Engineer at Bloomberg LP
May 2, 2022 - Present
Anchored applied AI/ML engineering for the Bloomberg Terminal: built generative AI capabilities for news ingestion, structured-data query workflows, and real-time earnings analysis. Productionized pipelines serving 50,000+ documents per day with median end-to-end latency under 4 seconds from EDGAR publication to analyst dashboards. Re-engineered legacy extractive summarization into a hybrid extractive-then-abstractive architecture to constrain outputs to source spans, holding numerical hallucination rates below 0.5% in production across millions of summaries. Upgraded summarization shortly after the 2023 BloombergGPT release by improving summary quality scores by 28% while lowering inference cost per document. Trained a fine-tuned BloombergGPT variant to translate natural-language analyst questions into Bloomberg Query Language (BQL), reaching 25,000+ terminal users in a year and deflecting ~40% of inbound BQL support tickets. Embedded constrained decoding logic to bias token generatio
