Jan Ong

I am a results-driven software developer with a specialization in high-performance distributed systems and MLOps for manufacturing automation. My proven track record includes architecting scalable, fault-tolerant solutions that process over 10,000 daily transactions while serving more than 100 users. I have a strong technical expertise in real-time ETL pipelines, computer vision, API design, and microservices architecture, consistently delivering efficiency improvements ranging from 40% to 90% across critical production workflows.

Currently, I work at Thorlabs Canada, where I spearheaded the development of fault-tolerant microservices using Python and LabVIEW, achieving a 45% reduction in cycle times. I also engineered computer vision solutions with OpenCV and deep learning, which reduced inspection times by 90% while enhancing defect detection. My leadership in digital transformation initiatives has significantly streamlined operations, including a comprehensive machine learning pipeline that automates optical signal prediction, thereby improving technician workflows in production.
