Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Chan is a lead software engineer and pragmatic tech leader with 11 years of experience building scalable backends, mobile apps, and games across startups and enterprise environments. He has founded and shipped indie games on Steam and mobile, led engineering teams to produce collaborative streaming games, and currently drives platform work at Series AI. His background spans high-scale systems at AWS and Amazon Japan, end-to-end product delivery at Migo and Captain.tv, and robotics and research work that informed practical automation and algorithm design. Phil blends hands-on coding (Node.js, Android, serverless) with product strategy and executive communication, regularly translating technical tradeoffs for non-technical stakeholders. He brings a maker’s curiosity—having built everything from autonomous-robot modules to consumer games—which gives him an uncommon ability to balance engineering rigor with creative product instincts. Based in Seattle, he pairs strong academic foundation in CS and combinatorics with entrepreneurial grit and cross-cultural experience.
