Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGideon Pan is a Senior Backend Engineer based in New Taipei with five years of experience building reliable, scalable systems and a three-year track record in backend-focused roles. He excels at diagnosing performance and reliability issues—cutting p99 latency dramatically, improving availability from 99.5% to 99.9%, and stabilizing CI pipelines—while mentoring junior engineers and streamlining team processes. Gideon has hands-on experience with messaging integrations (WhatsApp, LINE), vector search (Qdrant with OpenAI embeddings), and database tuning (PostgreSQL autovacuum), which together enabled product internationalization and major query speedups. He combines a pragmatic, data-driven approach to observability and testing with a knack for small design changes that yield large user-facing improvements, such as reducing menu and feature latencies by 4–5x. Unusually for an engineer with a sociology degree, he leverages strong cross-functional communication and scrum leadership to shrink delivery lead times and boost team efficiency.
