AI SOLUTIONS & ENGINEERING LEADER

I turn AI strategy
into systems teams
can run.

I take LLM systems from prototype to production—and build the backend, data, and platform infrastructure they depend on. 14+ years across backend, data, and platform engineering, including 6 years leading engineering teams.

Capabilities

Core stack: Go, Java/Spring Boot, Python · GCP, Kafka, Redis, BigQuery · RAG, Langfuse, Gemini, Claude.

Production GenAI & RAG

Taking LLM systems from prototype to production—RAG pipelines, function-calling routing, evaluation, Langfuse observability, and per-feature token cost tracking.

Enterprise AI Integration

Embedding LLM workflows into how the business runs—executive reporting, Microsoft Teams agents, MCP servers, and cross-region process mapping.

Distributed Systems

Go and Java/Spring Boot microservices on GKE/GCP with Kafka, Redis, BigQuery, and ClickHouse—load-tested, observable, and shipped through CI/CD.

Engineering Leadership

6 years leading teams of up to 10+ engineers across enterprises and startups—from design to deployment, delivery gates, and shared on-call.

Experience

A chronological overview of key roles and impact.

ViewSonic International Corporation

Integration Team Lead → AI Pod, AI Transformation Office

  • Designed and shipped T-mgr, a production LLM system (Python, React, PostgreSQL, Langfuse) that tracks 26 CEO-assigned workstreams and generates monthly executive reports; owned it end to end and led 2 engineers from design to deployment in ~3 months.
  • Replaced a manual email-and-compile process: 90%+ monthly fill-in rate across 3 reporting cycles, ~5–6 hours/month saved for the Chief of Staff and ~1 hour/month per workstream driver, at ~US$200/month LLM cost.
  • Built a Microsoft Teams–integrated agent that extracts and tracks action items.
  • Interviewed 26 workstream drivers across the International, EU, and US regions to map process gaps for cross-region unification.
  • On the AI Pod since the Sep 2026 reorg: building internal AI tooling including an MCP server and data-encryption work; hardened a brand-aligned slide-generation skill from PoC to handover-ready; building a JD Management system with an “AI architect” agent based on HR’s Success Profile framework.

PalUp

Engineering Manager

  • Led a team of 10+ engineers building an influencer chat platform for the North American market (Go microservices on GKE).
  • Built the RAG pipeline—Airflow → BigQuery → LLM summarization → chunking → embeddings in Vector Search—with an isolated knowledge space per creator serving fan chat, a creator insight dashboard, and internal sales.
  • Designed the LLM routing layer using function calling with role-scoped tool access; evaluated reply quality with test scripts plus human scoring, and tracked token usage per feature to cut high-cost paths.
  • Load-tested the platform with k6 and Datadog against its growth targets and identified gateway consolidation as the next bottleneck.
  • Rewrote a Selenium Grid crawler in Go to run 450+ concurrent sessions; built an event center on ClickHouse click events for real-time triggers.

MyFeel 品感覺

Tech Lead

  • Rebuilt three legacy systems (e-commerce, proposal backend, EIP) from Node.js to Laravel on GCP.
  • Built the CI/CD pipeline from scratch: GitLab → Cloud Build → Cloud Run.
  • Introduced Definition-of-Ready and change-request gates, reaching 100% sprint delivery accuracy.
  • Led 2 engineers with a PM and UI/UX designer; shared on-call for production systems.

Mystartr

Tech Lead

  • Owned the platform’s full lifecycle: development, operations, servers, and third-party integrations (SMS, email, KYC).
  • Upgraded Laravel 4.2 → 8.x and PHP to 7.4; refactored hot paths to cut database queries per page roughly 10x.
  • Led front-end engineers and UI/UX designers; redesigned the site for internal, investor, and issuer needs.
