Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCalvin Ho is a back-end engineer with 12 years of software experience, currently building Node and Go services for IBM Cloud from Oakland, CA. He combines practical cloud deployments (EC2, Azure, Docker) with strong database skills across PostgreSQL and NoSQL, and has hands-on experience tuning systems to scale—e.g., using Redis caching to push a comments service from 500 to 1000+ RPS. Comfortable across the full stack, he has implemented auth with Keycloak, mentored teams on CI/CD and containerization, and bridged monitoring systems in production. A Hack Reactor-trained engineer with a background in sociology, he brings both technical rigor and an eye for user-centered problem solving, enjoying unfamiliar technologies as learning opportunities rather than obstacles.
