Max Kwan

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable backend systems for high-traffic, production platforms, including financial services. I design and maintain high-availability services and RESTful APIs that power web and mobile applications.

In recent roles, I’ve integrated third-party APIs and external services while ensuring reliability and fault tolerance. I troubleshoot production incidents by analyzing application logs, performing root cause analysis, and optimizing API performance, database queries, and application stability.

I’ve built and enhanced backend services across multiple business domains, delivering new features and resolving production issues. I’ve delivered secure and maintainable solutions, including authentication, security measures, and performance optimizations for payment gateway and KYC workflows.

I work effectively across the SDLC with frontend developers, QA engineers, DevOps, and SRE teams. I participate in code reviews, sprint planning, technical discussions, and deployment activities, using Git-based workflows and CI/CD pipelines to support reliable releases.
