Karin Hsu is a full-stack software engineer and founder based in San Francisco with eight years of experience building service-oriented web applications and resilient backends. She combines hands-on expertise in React, Redux, Node.js/Express, and a range of databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MongoDB) with a track record of shipping modular front-end apps and scalable microservices. As a founding engineer at Federato and now CEO of Ceres Technologies, she blends startup grit with product-focused architecture and operational experience deploying services on AWS. Her background includes optimizing high-throughput systems (e.g., a PostgreSQL service tuned from 10ms to 0.8ms at scale) and integrating payment and content platforms to drive real revenue. After a 15-month global volunteer tour, she brings an uncommon social-impact perspective to technical leadership and product decisions.
