Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKingston Chan is an engineering leader and aspiring system architect with 12 years’ experience modernizing banking and fintech systems into SOA and microservices on AWS. Currently Engineering Department Manager at UNIVA PayCast in Tokyo, he blends hands-on Java/Scala/JavaScript development with operational know-how in Docker, ECS/Fargate, Lambda and scalable datastores like MySQL Cluster and Redis. His banking background makes security, reliability and zero-downtime designs a core focus, and he has deep experience in service discovery, messaging (JMS, SQS/SNS) and API mediation. Kingston pairs leadership with entrepreneurial grit from running a niche film digitization business, a detail that speaks to his product-minded, client-facing discipline beyond pure engineering. He’s known for driving test automation and integration efficiency—having led Selenium Grid efforts that dramatically reduced QA cycle time—and for prototyping microservice revamps of critical legacy systems.
