JapanAt Chartify.it, I’m leading frontend architecture and development for a pre-launch, multi-user AI conversation platform. I own the design and implementation of its core shared chat system and use Claude Code and Antigravity in my daily workflow.
At Payd, I led development across employee, company, and admin products for earned wage access in ASEAN markets. I built a KYC tool that extracts data from government IDs and shipped a voucher store feature that generated US$1.8K in new MRR.
