ABOUT ELIOT CHAN
I\'m a back-end engineer looking to make the Internet a better place. My strengths lie in translating product ideas into concrete technical requirements, and I never hesitate to clarify the boring but necessary details to ensure that everyone is aligned on the vision and execution. My approach to software architecture lies in deeply understanding trade-offs and communicating them. There is almost never a single solution that will fit every use case, every timeline, every budget, and every way we could grow the product. As such, every decision I make is based on my experience, my research, and my understanding of the context around what it is we\'re trying to build - and it is my responsibility to educate those around me about both the advantages and disadvantages of those decisions.On a more personal level, I\'m passionate about mentorship in the software space, animals, and education. I\'m happy to entertain any volunteer opportunities (using my professional skillset or otherwise) involving these things.
