Bryant Kou
@bryantkou
Senior full-stack engineer building high-performance, scalable digital entertainment and interactive game experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior full-stack engineer with extensive experience designing and scaling multi-platform digital entertainment systems. I focus on high-performance UI and scalable backend architecture, leveraging Node.js, React, TypeScript, and CSS to deliver smooth, consistent experiences across platforms.
I bring deep expertise in CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and performance optimization for high-traffic consumer-facing platforms. I design REST APIs, work with relational databases, and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS to keep systems reliable under peak load, using profiling, query/index tuning, and caching for measurable improvements.
In recent roles, I’ve led architecture and delivery—building microservices ecosystems, implementing real-time multiplayer features with REST and WebSocket APIs, and unifying multi-platform UI. I’ve also mentored engineers and partnered with product and design teams, with a track record of faster release cycles, reduced latency, improved throughput, and strong code quality through Jest/Cypress and continuous releases.
