Selected Work
Role: Technical Lead & Backend Engineer
Tencent Cloud × UTM Malaysia Game Track Champion (qualified for Global Grand Final in Shenzhen). Designed an authoritative FastAPI backend separate from the Godot 4 client, keeping relationship state, NPC emotions, progression, and gameplay rules deterministic while restricting the LLM to in-character dialogue generation. Built persistent NPC memory and a shared social graph across 16 NPC templates and 29 scenarios, achieving 4.28ms median FastAPI latency and 60 FPS runtime.
Role: Systems & AI Developer
Vibeathon 2026 Champion (1st of 34 teams). Built an end-to-end ESP32 telemetry stack in 48 hours (solo), converting CAN bus acquisition, speed, RPM, and throttle into real-time fuel cost and CO₂ metrics via a FastAPI backend, React frontend, and Claude/DeepSeek vehicle interpretation layer.
Role: Founder & Full-Stack Developer
Built an AI-powered SaaS platform generating fully unique, single-file portfolio websites in under 3 minutes. Onboarded 500+ users to date. Designed automated pipelines transforming user input into professional layouts with instant deployment and custom domains.
