Summary
Shiu-fun Poon is a Staff Software Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of experience designing secure, scalable API and gateway systems that operate at enterprise scale. He has architected high-throughput OAuth/OIDC providers and token-management solutions that cut API latency and routinely handle millions of daily transactions. At IBM he led cross-functional teams to secure FedRAMP/GovCloud/FISMA workloads, drove hardware releases that increased reliability, and embedded automated security checks to speed delivery without sacrificing compliance. He blends deep protocol expertise (OIDC, OAuth, JWT, SAML, PKCE, TLS/SNI) with hands-on implementation and a collaborative style that keeps product owners and customers aligned. Recently he’s focused on integrating AI into API governance and runtime security, positioning platforms to meet evolving threats in LLM/AI deployments. Outside work he’s a self-described nerd who recharges by keeping up with new security primitives and walking his dog.
