Full-Stack Engineer

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Howard Tang or Hao Tang. I am a Full-stack Engineer with startup founding experience, hands-on across architecture, backend implementation, and AI system design. Experienced with TypeScript-based web development across Next.js and NestJS, plus Python FastAPI for backend services. Proficient in AWS cloud services and building LLM-powered applications from planning layer to production infrastructure.

EDUCATION

Sep. 2017 — May 2021

B.S. in Computer Science and Information Engineering

National Taiwan University

  • Teaching Assistant for Algorithms — designing and grading coursework and holding office hours.
  • General Coordinator of CSIE Camp, leading planning and execution of a department-wide event.

WORK

Feb. 2024 — Jun. 2026

Co-Founder & Interim CTO

BeyondBrain

  • Co-founded BeyondBrain and built Lumi, an AI travel planning platform, from scratch as founding full-stack engineer — architecting the platform and AI application flow while integrating hotel inventory across 1M+ properties and Google Maps–based POI discovery, helping secure seed funding.
  • Architected Lumi's core planning system, separating a non-deterministic LLM planning layer from a deterministic transaction layer that re-validates pricing before booking confirmation, reducing failures caused by free-form LLM outputs through streaming responses and structured outputs.
  • Designed and built a normalized relational data model and RBAC-based user management system for FifthKeys, a hospitality management platform — separating availability, reservations, and pricing to ensure transactional consistency and real-time channel synchronization, helping client hotels increase occupancy by 20%+.
  • As Interim CTO, coordinated Web, Flutter, and Backend teams, established engineering practices, and hired 6 engineers.

Jun. 2021 — Feb. 2024

Full-Stack Engineer

MixerBox

  • Owned backend architecture, API development, and AI interaction flow for MixerBox ChatAI's tool-orchestration system — a production AI infrastructure serving 2.4M+ daily requests and 9,000 peak RPM, with robust handling for API timeouts, malformed LLM responses, and context failures.
  • Engineered concurrency-safe purchasing workflows for MixerBox Pay, a digital commerce platform, using DynamoDB Transactions to prevent race conditions during high-concurrency limited-quantity, fixed-time releases.
  • Built authentication and user-management systems for MixerBox ID, a centralized identity platform with 1M+ users.
  • Monitored production systems via AWS CloudWatch and took part in on-call rotations.
  • Joined as the company's first full-stack engineer and helped define engineering standards and interview processes as the team scaled.

Jul. 2020 — Feb. 2021

IT Intern

Funpodium

  • Built an internal admin console modeled on AWS IAM for access control, developed the company's website using React.js with a custom backend CMS, and built a social-network side project to explore full-stack patterns.

Jul. 2019 — Jun. 2020

IT Intern

Gridwell

  • Developed monitoring dashboards for Taipower's internal electricity operations team — a small but business-critical system prioritizing reliability and data accuracy — and built Python analysis scripts and SQL schemas for internal reporting.
