About Me

I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Singapore with over 8 years of professional experience delivering full-stack products across AI, voice technology, and enterprise systems. My technical depth spans scalable web architectures using React, TypeScript, Node.js, FastAPI, and Python.

A product-minded engineer who takes ownership from requirements to deployment — leading cross-functional teams, shaping technical direction, and consistently delivering on time even under real-world constraints. Experienced in agentic AI workflows and AI-assisted development, with a disciplined approach that keeps human judgement at the centre of every decision. Seeking to bring this product ownership mindset and engineering depth to organisations building at scale.

Experience

Knovel Engineering

Senior Software Engineer

Jun 2024 — Present Singapore

Led a cross-functional team of 5 to deliver a full internal CRM on Azure on time — replacing a manual, multi-person Excel process with a unified system that auto-generates and distributes forms, auto-tallies responses, and links entities across campaigns, significantly reducing manual administrative overhead.
Owned end-to-end product development of a real-time AI-powered multilingual training platform — working directly with the client across requirements, architecture, UI/UX, and full-stack development. The platform enables clients to conduct training across mixed-language audiences in their native languages — eliminating dependency on external interpreters, reducing costs, and scaling to any audience size. Custom dictionaries capture domain-specific terminology, delivering contextual accuracy that human translators unfamiliar with the subject matter would struggle to match.
Delivered an internal operations platform for HarriAnns, reducing invoice processing time and eliminating manual cross-checking through a UI designed to minimise data entry errors.
Drove technical strategy across the team — authoring proposals for public and private sector tenders, and cutting prototyping timelines from 2–3 weeks to 3–4 days through deliberate integration of agentic AI workflows while maintaining full personal ownership of requirements and output quality.
