Chris Wei is an Associate Software Engineer II with a decade of experience building full-stack, cloud-native systems and user-facing interfaces across finance, healthcare, and consumer platforms. A Georgia Tech CS and Math student turned practitioner, he has shipped production services at JPMorgan Chase and TeleTracking, including Kafka-driven microservices, Terraform-deployed AWS infrastructure, and Kubernetes CI/CD that sped developer velocity. His internship work at Amazon and SAP highlights strengths in machine-learning-backed recommendation systems and Android MVVM mobile development, respectively, while open-source contributions to Box UI Elements demonstrate polished front-end craftsmanship in React. Comfortable across Java, Spring Boot, Python, C#, TypeScript, and Kotlin, he pairs backend data engineering with thoughtful UI improvements and monitoring practices using Prometheus/Grafana. Notably, he has moved projects from prototype to A/B-tested production—combining embedding-based ML retrieval with real-time APIs—and often focuses on smoothing integration pain points and test automation. Based in New York, he blends academic rigor with hands-on delivery and a talent for translating complex domain workflows into reliable, user-centered software.
