Summary
Phat Nguyen is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, production-grade systems across companies like Niantic, Woven by Toyota, Amazon Japan, and Google. He specializes in cloud-native infrastructure, observability, and scalable backend services—having led projects that improved microservice performance by 400x, centralized 100+ credentials into HashiCorp Vault, and supported ~24,000 TPS for Amazon’s points APIs. Phat blends hands-on engineering with platform thinking, creating reusable Terraform modules, Kafka-based ingestion pipelines, and org-wide logging solutions for thousands of workloads. He’s comfortable operating at the intersection of reliability and developer experience, running cross-team education sessions and mentoring junior engineers. Based in Chiyoda, Japan, he pairs an electrical engineering background and a robotics nanodegree with practical SRE and platform expertise. An understated strength is his pattern of shipping measurable operational improvements that reduce risk and accelerate teams rather than just delivering features.
