Da-wei Lin is a Senior Software Architect based in Taipei with over eight years designing and scaling backend and cloud-native systems for FinTech, retail, and security domains. He specializes in high-throughput API architectures, payment gateway integrations (VISA, CyberSource, Mastercard), and cloud deployments across AWS and Azure, consistently reducing production loss and maintenance costs through targeted tuning and ETL improvements. Da-wei has led cross-regional teams of up to 10 engineers, introduced robust CI/CD and automated testing practices, and resolved long-standing technical debt to improve system stability and performance. His background as an AWS architect and hands-on experience with .NET, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker give him both infrastructure and application-level fluency. Less obvious: he blends physics-trained analytical rigor and teaching experience with practical product thinking—evident in projects that cut order loss by 500K transactions and streamlined cross-region communications. He is seeking platform-focused backend or tech lead roles in FinTech or cloud-first companies in Singapore, Australia, or remote teams.
