I’m Pin-Hsiu Kuo, originally from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and currently pursuing an M.S. in Software Engineering Systems at Northeastern University in Boston. I started building software around age 14 through Minecraft and game-server communities, which taught me to learn by turning ideas into systems people could actually use. Since then, I have worked across payments, multiplayer systems, full-stack products, security, cloud deployment, and business operations. I independently built FDPay, a production payment platform that integrated 10 providers and processed $9M+ across 101K+ successful transactions for 270+ merchant stores. I enjoy owning problems end to end—from ambiguous requirements and architecture through implementation, integration, deployment, and iteration. Guided by “No experiment, no experience,” I keep expanding into new technologies while focusing on one goal: building useful systems that work in the real world.
