Summary
Eric Tran is a software engineer with nine years of experience building scalable, production-first systems across payments, recommendations, and ML pipelines. He has driven measurable impact—cutting payment processing latency by 30% at Crunchyroll and enabling a $45M annual revenue lift through recommendation enhancements at Wayfair. Comfortable across Golang and Python stacks, he designs event-sourced, CQRS microservices and builds ML infrastructure using Airflow, Docker, and Kubernetes to speed deployment from hours to minutes. At Chime he continues to deepen systems design and efficiency-algorithm expertise while re-platforming legacy services. A collaborative mentor who enjoys onboarding and knowledge-sharing, he deliberately explores adjacent domains to connect teams and surface practical improvements. He’s equally drawn to learning new operational technologies and translating that curiosity into tangible engineering wins.
