About Me
About
Hey There! I am a Senior Backend Software Engineer at Shopee, working on the Shopee Database Metadata Service. I build scalable backend systems that power database discovery, ownership, governance, and lifecycle workflows, helping teams operate safely and efficiently at scale. I love learning new technologies and using them to solve challenging real-world problems with measurable impact. I’m also a self-taught engineer who transitioned into tech, and I bring strong communication, leadership, and ownership—able to work independently while partnering closely with cross-functional teams.
