Mechatronics engineer turned software developer. I build reliable AI systems, SDKs, and self-hosted infrastructure.

About

I came to software from mechatronics. Control systems, embedded hardware, things that fail in the field. So I build software the way I'd build a machine: for failure modes and data flow, not just the happy path.

Distributed systems
Offline-first sync, edge computing, and data that survives bad networks.
Full-stack product
End to end. Schema and API design through to a polished, shipped interface.
Infrastructure
Containers, pipelines, and the operational glue that keeps things alive in prod.

Selected work

A few systems I've built end to end. Self-hosted, strongly typed, and full of the edge cases that show how I think.

Production work across backend systems, internal tools, platform integrations, and field-ready software.

Backend Team Lead

Studio20 · Full-time

Kuala Lumpur · Hybrid

  • Lead engineer for the Singapore Business Federation's Future Readiness Index - a portal where Singapore companies assess their business readiness; built with Next.js, ElysiaJS and PostgreSQL on AWS.
  • Load-tested the portal with k6 before launch, fixed eight bottlenecks, and presented the results to the client; took it through a third-party pentest and closed every finding before launch.
  • Designed and built a white-label AI knowledge assistant - a RAG product over a client's own documents, mixing vector and keyword search so answers cite the right source; runs on OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or DeepSeek.
  • Act as technical point of contact for clients - scope requirements, write proposals, and walk business stakeholders through trade-offs.
  • Mentor backend engineers and run interviews; set up the project template and CI/CD pipeline used across client projects, with checks that block unsafe database migrations.

  • Built Malaysia's LHDN e-invoicing into a hotel group's booking and point-of-sale systems; traced recurring production freezes to an exhausted database connection pool and fixed them.
  • Published an open-source TypeScript client for the LHDN e-invoicing API, with per-endpoint rate limiting; in production on client projects.
