Top SchoolVictor Chau is a backend-focused Software Engineer II and technical lead with eight years building cloud-native, distributed systems and high-throughput services across AWS and Kubernetes. He has led cross-team efforts at Smartsheet to scale a Sheet Link Service to 200M daily refreshes, migrate serverless workloads to ECS/Fargate saving about $50k/month, and coordinate multi-team feature rollouts like Dynamic Dropdowns. Previously, he engineered ML/AI microservices and ETL pipelines that processed hundreds of millions of clinical documents weekly and doubled message throughput at Iodine Software, demonstrating strong end-to-end ownership from architecture to CI/CD. Victor combines deep systems thinking (Kafka, SQS, SQL/NoSQL, Prometheus) with a knack for operational reliability and developer experience, having cut customer escalations by 90% through improved incident response. Based in New York and rooted in a CS education from UT Austin, he enjoys mentoring engineers and simplifying complex backend problems into maintainable, high-performance designs.
