Taipei, Taiwan
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolToki Kanno is a Principal Engineer based in Taipei with 16 years of experience building high-performance web and multimedia systems, from large-scale e-commerce to video ingestion and cloud services. He focuses on practical optimizations and automation—famously cutting a production site's page load from 3s to 0.6s, checkout time from 30s to 2s, and server costs by 60% while stabilizing data sync and search accuracy. Comfortable across backend, infra and platform work, he has introduced technologies like FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes and Vitess at scale, and built CI/CD, monitoring and event queue systems for developer velocity. His earlier work includes a high-traffic League of Legends analytics site that handled millions of players and billions of game records, teaching him large-scale data handling and resilient bot systems. A self-described "lazy" engineer, he deliberately invests time in code and tooling that save months of manual effort later, blending hands-on coding with team mentorship and architecture.
