At OKX, I contribute as a Staff Engineer on the Grid Trading Bot team, where I have successfully integrated backtesting systems and optimized architectural designs, significantly improving performance and user adoption. Previously, at GitLab, I played a pivotal role in launching Remote Development, enhancing its fault tolerance and security measures. My leadership at Shopee has allowed me to mentor a talented team while delivering critical features that have positively impacted user engagement and revenue.
