What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in full-stack development and automation to drive impactful projects.

I'm Alex (Kai Yin) Hong, a full-stack developer with over 6 years of experience in creating scalable, production-ready systems. My expertise lies in technologies such as React.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL, complemented by my hands-on experience with DevOps tools like Docker and GitHub Actions. I have successfully built and maintained ERP platforms and AI-powered logistics tools that enhance operational efficiency and accuracy.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to improving processes and driving automation. At Claro Customs AI, I developed an AI-driven customs compliance platform that significantly reduced manual data entry by 70%. My work at Antek Logistics involved consolidating multiple legacy systems into a unified ERP platform, which increased efficiency and streamlined operations. I thrive in fast-paced, cross-functional teams and am fluent in both Cantonese and English, allowing me to communicate effectively in diverse environments.
