About Me

I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Singapore with 9+ years of professional experience building web applications at scale. My expertise spans front-end development with React and TypeScript, as well as back-end systems using Node.js, Express, and Python.

I'm passionate about mentoring junior engineers, driving engineering culture, and researching cutting-edge technologies — from AI-powered voice transcription to intelligent code review systems. I thrive in cross-functional environments where I can bridge the gap between product vision and technical execution.
