Welcome to my slice of the web!
I'm currently a software engineer at Airwallex revamping financial reporting products to be delightful and fast. Previously, I was an intern at Amazon where I improved the pre-pickup experience for Fresh delivery drivers.
In tech, I enjoy:
Outside of tech, I enjoy playing table tennis, taking long scenic walks, and reading novels and biographies.
Find me on:
Built a library in Kotlin for any Java-compatible language which interfaces with the Typst typesetting tool to efficiently generate PDF documents.
This library enables services to generate an 1100-page report with over 31,000 rows of user-provided data in 6 seconds, while providing a much more delightful and flexible report authoring experience.
Participated in Advent of Code 2024 and solved challenges using Java in a functional style.
Through these exercises, I reinforced my understanding of data structures and algorithms.
Led team of 5 over three months to build a responsive web app using TypeScript, NextJS, and MongoDB to save memories with photos, tags, and fast full-text search.
Background data refreshes and fuzzy text search of 300 posts both complete in under 70ms.
Cumulatively saved 15 hours of dev time by setting up a continuous deployment pipeline with GitHub Actions.
Implemented two auto-traders in Python to add and take liquidity on a simulated exchange with arbitrage and CAPM strategies.
Built a state machine with one-way data flow to handle async/out-of-order market events and prevent bugs while staying within position limits, achieving no illegal order errors during trading.
Implemented a fast, multithreaded HTTP 1.1 static file server in C
with IPv4/v6 support and a thread-per-request model, using
pthreads, sockets, and sendfile.
Provides over 3GB/s bandwidth while handling 100 simultaneous downloads with no failures.
