Career

I work best with founders at the beginning of a product—turning an idea into something real, shaping the product, making technical decisions, and taking it through implementation.

If you're building something from scratch and need someone to own the tech, let's talk.

Web App Full-Stack R&D Engineer

Scan the World Limited

I do a little bit of this and that, here and there, all over the place. You know how it goes, a slightly-more-senior software engineer in a very small team.
  • Lead a team of 4 on the development of an in-house 3d model-oriented platform with ecommerce and metaverse, using technologies such as three.js, gaussian splatting and more. Also responsible for guiding and mentoring fresh-graduate hires and student interns.
  • Hands-on responsibilities in both full-stack development and DevOps (Vue.js/ Fastify.js/ Prisma/ PostgreSQL/ GCP).
  • Pushed for the development to be more structured and methodological by introducing project management software (Jira) and pushed for the proper use of git-branching, type-checking, pre-commit hooks etc.
  • Delivered a customized application that utilizes our core technologies to educational institutes such as Faculty of Medicine of CUHK.
  • Report directly, while also participating in hands-on discussions about business directions and technical approaches, to and with the company founder.
