Summary
John Chen is a seasoned backend and cloud engineer with a decade of experience building scalable APIs, data pipelines, and automation across AWS and GCP for enterprises and NIH/NCI-funded healthcare research platforms. He has a strong track record at companies like Walmart Global Tech, J.P. Morgan, and Emmes Group, where he designed Python microservices, Cloud Functions, and SQLAlchemy-backed pipelines to ingest and validate complex clinical and biospecimen data. Recently he’s been architecting agentic AI chatbot systems that integrate LLMs, FastAPI, and event-driven AWS services to automate multi-step customer and associate workflows while reducing latency and hallucinations. Comfortable across test automation, CI/CD, and ServiceNow workflow automation, he blends production-grade engineering with a practical focus on data integrity and operational efficiency. Based in the Seattle area, he’s looking for backend/SDET roles where he can marry cloud-native engineering with ML-driven automation.
