Remote worker with 16+ years of experience - Last seen 21 days ago

Hi, I’m Michael Chow — a senior backend engineer, software architect, and technical leader with 15+ years of experience building scalable systems, product platforms, and AI-enabled applications.

Over the years, I’ve worked across backend architecture, distributed systems, full-stack product delivery, and engineering leadership. My core strengths are turning complex business ideas into reliable technical systems, designing scalable architectures, and leading projects from early concept to production.

I’ve built microservice platforms, asynchronous processing pipelines, API-driven systems, and AI-powered workflows using technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, Docker, and Kubernetes. In recent years, I’ve also focused on AI-integrated products, including structured LLM workflows, image analysis pipelines, semantic search, and automated report generation.

I enjoy working in fast-moving environments where technology has real product impact — especially in startups and growth-stage teams where ownership, execution, and practical decision-making matter. I’m particularly interested in backend architecture, platform engineering, AI-enabled systems, and full-cycle product development.

Beyond writing code, I care about building systems that are maintainable, teams that can execute effectively, and products that solve real problems.
