Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR
I build things at the intersection of blockchain, quantitative finance, and AI — and I've been doing it with real stakes. Over 4 years, I've architected real-time systems handling 10,000 concurrent connections, deployed smart contracts on Solana, engineered automated trading strategies managing ~USD 125K in crypto assets, built an order book matching engine for a prediction market platform, and developed AI-driven automation pipelines that run 24/7 without human intervention. What sets me apart isn't just technical depth — it's that I've always operated as more than an engineer. I've owned products end-to-end, analysed client requirements and translated them into technical solutions that non-technical stakeholders could understand and act on, and made architectural decisions that directly impacted business outcomes. My goal is to eventually build and lead my own company. Until then, I'm looking for roles where I can work at the intersection of technology and business — as a founding engineer, technical lead, or solutions architect — in companies that are building something real. Currently based in Hong Kong. Open to remote.
Developed and deployed algorithmic trading strategies (Bollinger Bands, EMA, RSI) in Python, managing ~USD 125K in crypto assets by exploiting market inefficiencies across CEX and DEX platforms. Built a full-stack asset management dashboard aggregating real-time data from multiple CEX/DEX APIs including Jupiter, enabling portfolio viewing, contract creation, and spot trading for a private family office. Engineered a 24/7 AI-powered WhatsApp sales automation system using Bailey and Gemini, with MCP integration for real-time data ingestion and internal analysis. Automated end-to-end content pipeline for crypto news platform Cryptopai — daily AI-generated social posts via n8n and Gemini, plus an automated podcast channel using Minimax, FFmpeg, and AWS. Built a full-stack Web2 prediction market platform (Polymarket-style) for a client, implementing an order book matching engine for binary outcome trading, a user-created market system, and payment gateway SaaS integration.
Developed and deployed a Solana token distribution program using Anchor framework; built an offline airdrop distribution script; integrated staking/unstaking smart contracts via Solana RPC on the frontend. Engineered a Python-based market-making bot integrating with CEX APIs to manage limit order books, stabilize liquidity, and maintain price within defined ranges. Built full-stack web applications with Next.js and PostgreSQL, integrating payment channels and AWS storage solutions for an EduFi platform. Led cross-functional teams across blockchain, frontend, and design workstreams, defining project scopes and ensuring milestone delivery.
Led full-stack development of a real-time poker entertainment platform as sole CS engineer, owning architecture across Node.js, Python, Next.js, React Native, Redis, and PostgreSQL. Engineered backend to sustain 10,000 simultaneous Socket.IO connections; implemented Redis caching layer to protect PostgreSQL under peak load, validated through Locust stress tests and penetration testing. Independently developed and shipped a cross-platform crypto exchange mobile app (React Native) on both App Store and Google Play as the team's only React Native engineer. Built an AI smart-reply system using GPT with a custom context-summarization method to resolve context window limitations — an approach that predated mainstream awareness of context management. Acted as de facto Tech Lead and PM: defining project scope, allocating tasks across developers, QA, and stakeholders to ensure timely delivery.
