About
I'm a Software Engineer with BEng in Computer Science from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HKUST.
Skilled in Java, Python, Rust, ETL & Data Pipelines, Real-time & Batch Architecture and Machine/Deep Learning. I'm experienced with Data Engineering
at Goldman Sachs and Dozer and also worked on various Machine Learning & Natural Language Processing (NLP) related projects.
Experiences
-
Goldman Sachs
Singapore
Associate
April 2024Present
- Leading the design and implementation of the Lakehouse platform — a unified architecture combining the flexibility of a data lake with the performance, structure and governance features of a data warehouse.
- Built core ETL/data-ingestion pipelines and data transformation frameworks in Java, SQL and Pure, working with Snowflake, Legend and Alloy to integrate global business domains.
- Introduced end-to-end data latency improvements: transitioned from multi-day latency to minutes for globally distributed datasets, enabling near-real-time analytics and decision-making.
- Elevated data governance, metadata management and lineage across the platform — helping to establish the Lakehouse as a single source of truth (SSOT) for upstream analytics and downstream applications.
- Positioned the platform for general availability (GA) by end-of-year, coordinating architecture, compliance, operational readiness and cross-regional rollout.

Dozer
Singapore
Founding Software Engineer
Dec 2022
- Architected and implemented a high-throughput real-time data access platform in Rust, delivering ~4.92 ms average latency across ~10,000 concurrent requests at 50 concurrencies.
- Built streaming connectors (Postgres, Snowflake, Ethereum, Kafka, AWS S3, object stores) and a native SQL engine using RocksDB, enabling joins over 100 million records in ~10 minutes.
- Designed & deployed Stripe webhook integration with Rust Diesel, EKS/Minikube deployments, and snapshot/checkpoint mechanics for object stores like S3 & DeltaLake.
- Presented engineering demos at Big Data & AI World Singapore, Big Data Conference Europe, and APIdays Paris.

Analyst
July 2020Dec 2022
- Developed and open-sourced a milestoning component library using SQL, Snowflake to version temporal data in large-scale systems.
- Contributed to the Legend open-source data modelling ecosystem via the Studio tool and persistence service, improving developer productivity and testing capabilities.
- Contributed towards opensourced Legend for user enablement for testing on data modelling tool called Studio using service called persistence integrated with milestoning library.
- Improved stability, scalability and latency for the Alloy Streaming ETL platform: leveraged Java, Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana and Kubernetes to build data-reliability features.
- Operated and optimised Kafka-based distributed ETL pipelines embedded within Kubernetes for high-throughput ingestion and real-time data flows.
