Senior Solutions Architect @ Mediacorp · Distributed Systems · Mobile & Scalable Platform Engineering · Singapore
I design and scale mobile and platform systems for high-traffic digital products. I've spent 15+ years building them, most recently on Singapore's national news and media apps. My focus is system design, mobile architecture, API integration, performance, and production reliability.
- Architect for scale. I lead mobile and platform architecture at Mediacorp for CNA, 8World, Berita, and Seithi.
- Keep production healthy. I improve stability through monitoring, debugging practices, and engineering standards.
- Modernize codebases. I migrate legacy apps to Kotlin, MVVM, and modular architecture.
- Grow engineers. I mentor teams on architecture decisions, trade-offs, and production readiness.
