Senior Backend Engineer & Cloud Solutions Architect

I build the part behind the product.

At Codigo, I build the systems that live products across Singapore and Southeast Asia lean on — quietly, every day. Latest work: engineering the backend behind every booking at Porsche Experience Centre Singapore.

Press to send one · hold for a rush

A live simulation below the button. Each request sinks below the surface, passes the rules, then either holds a seat in a session, pays and is booked; joins a first-come, first-served queue for a chair; or plays a new release through an edge cache, where a rush of plays reaches the origin as a single fetch that everyone shares. When many requests reach for the last seat at once, exactly one gets it and the rest are told the session is full. Every request gets an answer, and every committed one is added to a ledger.

Approach

I don't write code that works. I design systems that survive — traffic spikes, infrastructure failures, 3am incidents, and team turnover. The measure of good infrastructure isn't that it runs. It's that it runs without you.

  • Backend systems

    Rules that stay true

    Domain modelling, APIs, relational data, caching, background processing, integrations, authorization, and the invariants that prevent the product from contradicting itself.

    RequestrulestateConsistent

  • Infrastructure

    Cloud without theatre

    Containers, databases, queues, secrets, delivery pipelines, observability, and scaling choices shaped by the workload — not by whatever looks impressive in a diagram.

    DeployobserverecoverOperable

  • Production stewardship

    Still understandable later

    Maintenance, incidents, migrations, performance tuning, feature evolution, and leaving enough clarity that the next engineer can move without guessing.
