Kris Chou

As a Technical Leader, Backend Engineer, ML Engineer, and Software Architect, I guide engineering teams while designing and building scalable, AI-driven systems using Python (FastAPI, Django), Node.js (Express, NestJS), Next.js, React, AWS, GCP, and OpenAI. I specialize in LLM-based solutions, including LangChain, RAG, and semantic search, and focus on cloud-native architectures that deliver strong performance, reliability, and efficiency.

With over a decade of experience, I’ve led and mentored engineering teams while owning system architecture end to end. I’ve designed high-performance platforms spanning microservices, real-time data pipelines, and intelligent automation, and I’ve been responsible for setting technical direction, reviewing code, and aligning engineering execution with product and business goals.

I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can solve complex problems, support teams, and help scale both systems and people. I enjoy working closely with product, data, and AI stakeholders to turn ideas into dependable, production-ready solutions that drive real impact.
