Senior🎓
Top SchoolDae Choi is a senior software engineer and engineering leader with 25+ years of experience building distributed systems, database infrastructure, and cloud-native platforms across finance, healthcare, Web3, and enterprise AI. He has a proven track record of designing and shipping complex, production-grade systems—from a multi-region serverless Postgres platform and VM orchestration with hot-plug CPU scaling to a high-throughput trade engine and custom blockchain modules. At a stealth startup he solo-built an enterprise-scale AI/ML media processing platform with a multi-node HA cluster and sophisticated weighted-priority scheduling, demonstrating both deep systems thinking and hands-on execution. Dae is fluent in Go, Rust, and Python and is comfortable across the full stack, including low-level virtualization, storage management, and real-time data pipelines. He combines CTO-level strategic leadership (scaling a hedge fund’s tech stack) with founder-stage engineering rigor, often implementing self-healing reconciliation loops and distributed concurrency controls. Based in Saint Petersburg, Florida, he brings a rare blend of operational discipline and creative engineering—optimizing for latency, fault tolerance, and autonomous recovery in complex, multi-tenant environments.
