About

Hello!👋 I'm a software engineer based in Singapore, working with Shopee's marketplace team. Knowing my work impacts millions of daily users keeps me going everyday.

Work is tough but tough work pays, and tough work teaches.

Experience

Shopee

Software Engineer • August 2024 - Present

If you are a seller that customers have raised a return to before, you have interacted with my work.

I'm not the best bug catcher but I've not broken prod yet.

Golang • SQL • Kafka • Protobuf

Grab

Full Stack Engineer Intern • August 2022 - December 2022

When you have had an unsatisfactory experience, the customer support agents communicate with you through this platform that I worked on. They provide judgement based on the information available, and proceed with appeasements / refunds (they are also real people).

Golang • SQL • Kafka • React

Doctor Anywhere

Software Engineer Intern • May 2022 - July 2022

I didn't know there was an e-commerce platform with supplements and OTC medicine under Doctor Anywhere. It was interesting as a first job, did everything from QA to Dev to Devops.

Python (Selenium) • Java (Springboot) • SQL • React • Jenkins

Projects

Only did the front-end and some back-end in the early phases of the project. Friend hated front-end so someone else had to do it (me). Learnt a lot from him, and got lots of users and recognition.
