Victor Chen

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building high-scale backend systems, event-driven microservices, and cloud-native platforms across identity, fintech, and eCommerce. I take end-to-end ownership and partner cross-functionally to deliver resilient products used by millions.

At CLEAR I architected and delivered core biometric identity platform components, scaled active members from 6M to 7.6M, supported 20M+ monthly verifications, and sustained multi-million RPS with sub-100ms P99 latency. I also integrated machine learning models into production to reduce verification latency by 40%.

Previously at Capital One and Amazon I contributed to enterprise cloud migrations, built Kafka/Spark data pipelines for fraud detection and model training, and delivered full-stack features improving performance and conversion at scale. I emphasize automated testing, secure CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code to maintain high availability and rapid delivery.

I enjoy designing resilient, cost-effective systems on AWS and Kubernetes, optimizing data pipelines and databases for low-latency performance, and mentoring teams to ship measurable product capabilities.
