Summary
Victor Chen is a versatile software engineer with 11 years of experience building everything from edge computing research systems to production web and factory automation tools. Currently developing VLBI data correlation infrastructure at the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand, he blends low-latency distributed systems expertise with full-stack skills honed building blockchain-synchronized game frontends and backend consistency mechanisms. His background spans research-grade languages and frameworks (Elixir, Rust, Go) and practical stacks (React, FastAPI, Firebase, GCP), plus computer vision and OCR for automation in rescue and industrial settings. Victor has a history of shipping measurable tooling—CCTV streaming/admin portals, workload schedulers that output executive-ready reports, and a custom mutex-based solution to prevent dirty writes—reflecting a pragmatic focus on reliability and data freshness. Trained at USC and The Cooper Union, he combines academic research experience with hands-on production delivery, often bridging novel research ideas into maintainable operational systems.
