Hello, I'm

Shuhao Pang

Call me Portia. Full-stack engineer with 5 years of end-to-end ownership across payment infrastructure, multi-tenant platform architecture, and cloud-native systems — progressing from Software Engineer to Senior in 3 years at a high-growth B2B SaaS company. Architected production systems from zero to one, including a multi-tenant membership platform and a high-availability payment infrastructure serving clients such as Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls, Alcatraz, and San Diego Zoo.

Work Experience

Building systems that matter

Senior Software Engineer

Anchor Operating System

Jan. 2024 - Present
  • Sole designer and implementer of a multi-tenant Membership Management System serving 10+ tourism properties, supporting 800K+ active memberships and over $100M in annual recurring revenue. Led the full lifecycle — requirements gathering, schema design, implementation, and zero-downtime production rollout via a versioned routing layer replacing the legacy system with full backward compatibility.
  • Designed an 8-entity single-table DynamoDB schema managing 7M+ records; utilized 3 GSIs and composite sort keys to support 5+ access patterns, achieving consistent single-digit millisecond (<10ms) query latency.
  • Implemented a 6-phase membership purchase pipeline handling new purchases, renewals, upgrades, and downgrades with deterministic action validation and automated benefit allocation.
  • Built a lazy-evaluation benefit system with configurable accrual rules and expiry-based recovery, eliminating 20+ daily heavy cron jobs and reducing database read load by ~40% while keeping balances always current.
  • Developed cryptographic card number generation using a Feistel cipher with Luhn check digits — globally unique without external coordination.
  • Built an event-driven async processing layer on SQS for purchase orchestration, report generation, and CRM integration.
  • Architected a high-availability payment platform integrating Stripe, Chase, and Authorize.net. Implemented idempotent webhook processing and automated fault-recovery, achieving 100% financial data consistency across distributed environments.
  • Owned and built a back-end automation engine for global subscription lifecycle management using AWS Lambda and SQS — eliminating 100% of manual payment failure intervention and supporting a 40–60% increase in transaction volume.
  • Designed a transaction integration layer consolidating fragmented booking flows into atomic, performant service calls, processing 100% of platform orders with improved throughput and stability at peak traffic.
  • Built a full-stack revenue management dashboard with real-time telemetry, guest analytics, and predictive forecasting — enabling engineering and finance to proactively detect bottlenecks and financial discrepancies.
  • Provisioned and maintained cloud infrastructure via Terraform across Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, and AppSync, ensuring reproducible, secure environments aligned with CNCF best practices.

Software Engineer II

Anchor Operating System

Jun. 2022 - Jan. 2024
  • Engineered a dynamic cart state-management engine enabling real-time API-driven modifications without disrupting the user session lifecycle. Reduced redundant compute cycles through optimized UI-to-API synchronization.
  • Led the design and delivery of comprehensive automated integration test suites for core API services and SDK components across multiple teams, validating end-to-end system reliability and maintaining 99.9% uptime for critical customer-facing flows.

Software Engineer

Anchor Operating System

Jul. 2021 - Jun. 2022
  • Designed and implemented a centralized itinerary bundling engine aggregating data for 100% of system-wide orders, ensuring consistency across multiple service modules and eliminating data fragmentation.
  • Built the automated integration testing framework adopted across core API services and SDK components — reducing regression risk and establishing the reliability baseline for platform-wide deployments.
