Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDerek Chen is a Project Manager and Agile Coach based in Taipei with 11 years of experience blending hands-on engineering and delivery leadership across software, SRE, and cloud domains. He has led large-scale Agile transformations at LINE—cutting release cycles from six to two weeks and boosting delivery speed by 80%—and now applies that experience to program-level coordination at TSMC. Technically grounded from early roles building high-traffic systems, containerized microservices, and observability platforms, he translates architectural trade-offs into practical team practices. A prolific trainer and workshop facilitator, Derek has delivered 15+ formal trainings and 30+ interactive sessions to embed an agile mindset across organizations. He’s equally comfortable refactoring backend engines and coaching cross-functional teams to become self-organizing, bringing a rare mix of low-level system insight and people-centered change leadership.
