05/Experience

Seven years of owning the result.

The work history behind the case studies, in full. Senior since 2020, across three countries, with a consistent move toward architecture, identity, and the systems other people depend on.

  1. Full Stack Developer, Tech & Innovation

    Issara Institute

    2025 to Present

    Bangkok, Thailand

    I lead backend, identity, and security work on a three-person engineering team, building and modernizing a multi-tenant labor-rights platform that covers 10,000+ suppliers and 500,000+ workers across Southeast Asia.

    • Led the re-platforming of the analytics backend from Django to Node.js and TypeScript, using a strangler-fig approach to avoid a high-risk big-bang rewrite and ship without downtime.
    • Designed a fault-tolerant persistence layer: a primary application database alongside read-only connections to two legacy MySQL systems that degrade gracefully, so new features keep working when a legacy source is down.
    • Built a centralized OIDC sign-on and identity-federation gateway (Flask and WorkOS on AWS Lambda via CDK) giving three products one login, correlating identity through WorkOS metadata rather than a central user database.
    • Owned authentication and security: RS256/JWKS verification with key rotation, AES-256-GCM response encryption, refresh-token rotation, and a zero-downtime migration from legacy JWT-2FA to WorkOS SSO via a dual-provider backend.
    • Set technical direction for the team: ran design reviews, mentored two developers, and translated architecture decisions for non-engineering stakeholders.

  2. Technical Lead (Freelance)

    Booppa Smart Care LLC

    Dec 2025 to Jun 2026

    Singapore (Remote)

    As the sole technical lead, I architected and built a production multi-tenant compliance-evidence SaaS spanning 58 FastAPI services, a 139-route Next.js frontend, a Polygon smart contract, AI classification, Stripe payments, and AWS infrastructure.

    • Designed a tamper-evidence system combining a deterministic SHA-256 content hash, a hash-chained audit log, and on-chain anchoring through a custom Polygon smart contract, so a buyer can verify evidence without trusting Booppa.
    • Built a provider-agnostic AI classification layer (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Ollama) for PII and policy analysis, redacting sensitive data before any external model call, with a heuristic fallback that makes no external calls.
    • Engineered a race-resistant Stripe checkout-to-fulfilment pipeline on asynchronous Celery and Redis workers for scanning, PDF generation, S3 upload, and anchoring.
    • Delivered a hardened Next.js frontend with three middleware-enforced auth zones, HMAC-signed paywall cookies, and JWT-refresh rotation, on AWS ECS Fargate behind a Cloudflare Tunnel.

  3. Blockchain / Full-Stack Developer

    Freelance

    Remote (Germany-based company)

    Designed and deployed Ethereum smart contracts for token transactions and on-chain data validation, with a Vue.js front end and Node.js services connected through Web3.js.

    • Wrote and deployed Solidity smart contracts for token transactions and on-chain data validation.
    • Built the Vue.js front end and Node.js services, connected to chain through Web3.js, with MetaMask wallet authentication and transaction signing.

  4. Senior Full Stack Developer

    Wunderfauks

    Dec 2023 to Dec 2024

    Singapore

    Led a team of three delivering client web products for a Singapore agency. One build, a resident-feedback platform for Singapore Post, became a relational application rather than a contact form, and is written up as a flagship case study.

    • Built SingPost MyPostman, a resident-feedback platform on a custom WordPress theme backed by a bespoke relational schema (now a flagship case study).
    • Built RWC Game, a gamified rewards platform with a coin economy on a WordPress backend, with two custom PHP plugins and a JWT-secured REST API.
    • Built a decoupled headless-CMS platform (M-Vista) running WordPress as a content API behind a Next.js front end, plus multilingual and e-commerce sites for corporate clients.
