What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my expertise in Java, cloud technologies, and AI, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration in a dynamic team.

As a dedicated software engineer with a strong background in Java, cloud computing, and AI integration, I bring a wealth of experience from my roles at Lloyds Bank, Version 1, and HKFMI Services Limited. My expertise includes developing scalable applications, migrating systems to the cloud, and implementing automated testing frameworks.

My journey in software engineering began with contributing to a multinational Java application for ETF order transfers between Hong Kong and China. I then transitioned to developing e-banking services, enhancing security and reliability by modernizing legacy systems. At Lloyds Bank, I worked on greenfield projects aimed at improving customer spending management through the mobile application.

Beyond my technical skills, I am passionate about mentoring and knowledge sharing. I have mentored apprentices and provided technical training to help juniors grow professionally. My personal project, a web application using Java Spring Boot and React.js, showcases my proficiency in full-stack development and AI integration with Google Cloud technologies.
