Summary
Janson Chiu is a backend-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building data-intensive systems and full-stack features, currently contributing to Expedia Group’s cloud-native platforms. He has led end-to-end initiatives—most notably productionalizing a Flink-based accounting data pipeline that integrates Kafka, PyFlink, ScyllaDB and GraphQL—and serves as a cross-team point of contact for data and performance tuning. Comfortable across Java, Python, TypeScript and C/C++, Janson pairs systems work (Flink, gRPC, Terraform, Airflow, AWS) with front-end experience in React/Angular and UX-minded design from earlier research projects. He brings a research-informed approach to engineering, having mentored student teams and built educational web tooling at UC Santa Cruz, and maintains an active GitHub presence and personal site showcasing projects. Colleagues describe him as a multitasker who combines hands-on implementation with strong production ownership and observability discipline.
