Summary
Lowy Shin is a performance-driven system architect with two decades of hands-on experience designing and operating extreme-scale platforms, including a 40M DAU web service, 600K concurrent-connection systems, and infrastructure sustaining 300 Gbps and 1.76 PB storage. He blends deep end-to-end performance tuning—from application and databases to network and cloud—with a business-first focus that delivered a ¥200M (~$1.3M) annual cost reduction. Comfortable across Oracle, MySQL, TiDB, Kubernetes, Kafka and multi-region cloud fabrics, he also designs Web3/NFT services and has operationalized LLM integrations and robotics platforms. Having served as CTO/COO in multiple companies and led product and infra deployments for enterprise clients and telcos, he is equally adept at hands-on rescue projects and strategic architecture for startups. Based in Tokyo and fluent in Korean and Japanese, he is known for solving “last-mile” bottlenecks that others overlook—turning theoretical scalability into measurable cost and latency wins.
