About

Meng-Ting (Martin) Chiang is a full-stack software engineer with a passion for modern distributed systems to build scalable, performant, and interactive applications. He is currently working as a Software Engineer at Axon, where he is building Axon Record - the company's signature product. His main tech stack includes React, Typescript, GraphQL, Golang, gRPC, and SQL. He has also worked on Docker, CI/CD, and Kubernetes. Martin is proficient in Javascript, Typescript, Golang, Python, AWS, and relational databases. He is hyper excited about React, GraphQL, and gRPC. He has given talks on 'AWS Lambda & EC2' and 'Implementing D3 with React' at SingleSprouts sponsored events. Martin has worked as a Software Engineer at Axios, where he led the front-end team to improve the app's initial loading time from 2 seconds to less than 0.5 seconds. He also consolidated tech debts and downsized the front-end codebase by 1/3 of its original bundle size. He built a React component library with Storybook from scratch, allowing components to be shared across different teams and projects. He introduced React Context API for state management, replaced polling with Websocket, and employed custom Webpack/Typescript configuration to exercise granular control over the bundling of the front-end codebase. Martin has also worked as a Software Engineer at LucidQL, where he implemented React/D3 to build a developer tool that introspects and visualizes PostgreSQL databases and outputs schemas ready to be inserted into GraphQL APIs. He constructed Express server in a combination of object-oriented programming and functional patterns to modularize the app's back-end structure. He utilized AWS for deployment by configuring Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) server with Dockerized images to ensure future scalability. Martin holds a Master's degree in Physiology from Columbia University and a Bachelor's degree in Biochemical Technology from National Taiwan University. His tech stack includes Software Engineer, AWS, Typescript, Frontend, SQL, Golang, Javascript, CI/CD, Kubernetes, Docker, test, Python, Integration, Postgres, and Backend. He has 6.53 years of relevant experience. Martin is also interested in HIIT training, kettlebell, intermittent fasting, and how technology can promote these awesome fitness concepts.
