Kang-chih Kuo is a Technical Director and backend-focused engineer with 12 years of software experience, specializing in cloud-native web services across AWS and GCP. He designs and optimizes microservice architectures, high-throughput APIs, and data processing pipelines—handling systems that have processed over a million REST requests per day. His background spans startups and large corporates (HTC, VIVEPORT) where he built resilient services with Java, Go, Python and modern frameworks like FastAPI, and integrated with third-party platforms (Shopify, Google, Facebook). Beyond engineering, he manages outsourced projects and advises startups on cost- and time-efficient solutions, reflecting his indie-hacker drive to improve business profitability. He also brings practical media-processing experience (video compression, VMAF, key-frame extraction) and operational know-how solving banned/blocked cloud-instance issues. Based in Taipei, he blends hands-on implementation with architectural leadership and a knack for squeezing performance out of constrained environments.
