Justine Chen is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with nine years of experience building cloud-native systems and distributed messaging services. She has focused heavily on AWS SQS at Amazon, shipping production-grade queueing infrastructure before moving to NVIDIA, and brings deep practical knowledge of scalable backend architectures. Her background spans full-stack and DevOps-adjacent work—from Java microservices, Kubernetes and Docker to mobile Unity development and UX-focused prototyping—reflecting a rare blend of systems engineering and product-minded design. She has academic roots at the University of Toronto where she also taught and supported peers, and early career work at IBM included developer tooling, demos, and observability dashboards. Colleagues value her for reliably delivering robust systems while keeping an eye on developer experience and cross-team collaboration.
