Hong Kong, China
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Chan is a founder and CTO with 14 years of hands-on experience designing and shipping highly scalable systems, large-scale data processing pipelines, and mobile applications across iOS and Android. Based in Hong Kong, he has led engineering teams at game and startup companies and now runs BetaMatters, where he blends cloud-native database design with practical, production-grade implementations. His background in Hadoop-style parallel processing, various NoSQL datastores, and messaging/clustering middleware gives him a strong edge in building resilient, high-throughput architectures. A developer at heart who "codes for food," he remains deeply involved in low-level system design and open-source tooling rather than just high-level oversight. Colleagues know him for turning research and POCs into benchmarked, automated solutions that scale horizontally. He holds a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from the University of Hong Kong and brings both entrepreneurial grit and technical depth to product-driven engineering.
