Professional Experience
Software Engineer
at Loopsio
January 2026 - Present
- Engineered and delivered a desktop MVP for a construction-tech startup using Tauri (Rust + React) in 4 months, helping secure a follow-on Phase 2 development contract through rapid iteration driven by weekly customer demos and feedback sessions.
- Developed a high-performance ML inference pipeline that used coarse object detection to filter irrelevant image regions, reducing GPU segmentation workloads by 90% and enabling the processing of 1,000+ images per session with near-zero IPC latency.
- Integrated AI-assisted development workflows (Claude Code) to reduce boilerplate and refactoring overhead, and accelerate delivery cycles.
Fullstack Software Engineer
January 2023 - August 2025
- Led a team of 4 engineers to design and deliver a greenfield manufacturing MRP SaaS module, owning backend REST API design, frontend delivery and collaborating closely with clients onsite to refine workflows; achieved UAT sign-off, secured MYR 1M in contract value, and converted the client into a recurring customer.
- Extended and maintained a high-throughput event-driven messaging system using Spring Boot and PostgreSQL queue tables with async producers/consumers and SKIP LOCKED concurrency, processing ~500k events per day across ERP workflows including orders, inventory, and financial updates.
- Designed and implemented a queue-based ETL system using PostgreSQL event tables and distributed consumer microservices to support bulk ERP client onboarding and continuous cross-system data synchronization, migrating 20M+ records from 3 legacy systems into a central platform with idempotent processing guarantees.
- Spearheaded internationalisation across 50+ Angular microfrontend apps, designing a lazy-loading resource bundle that dynamically swaps languages at runtime - unlocking 3 new markets without requiring app rebuilds per locale.
- Initiated and built a shared Angular component library of 200+ components, consolidating UI usage across 50+ apps into a single versioned NPM package, improving reusability and maintainability.
- Designed and authored Bitbucket CI/CD pipelines across containerised Spring Boot services, micro-frontends, and versioned NPM libraries with hourly to weekly release cadences, reducing deployment time by 40% and improving cross-team release velocity.
