Summary
Chris Lam is a veteran CTO and serial entrepreneur with 11 years building AI-driven, cloud-native products across startups and tier-one finance, currently co-founding Aizzie to reimagine the end-to-end travel experience. He has repeatedly scaled engineering and product teams, rebuilt legacy platforms with zero downtime, and integrated GenAI to cut client operational costs by half at Spaceship and boost growth metrics at EventX. Comfortable shipping quickly without sacrificing reliability, he launched MVPs and telemedicine services in weeks and scaled systems to support high RPS workloads. His background as the first DevOps hire in APAC at Merrill Lynch and as a longtime lecturer gives him a rare mix of enterprise-grade automation expertise and hands-on mentorship. Based in Hong Kong, he pairs deep infrastructure fluency (CI/CD, IaC, microservices) with a knack for growth experiments that turn technical work into measurable business outcomes.
