Summary
Andrew Lai is a Senior Software Engineer based in Singapore with 7 years of hands-on experience building full-stack web and mobile applications across fintech and government projects. He has shipped features end-to-end—from React/TypeScript frontends and React Native mobile apps to Node/Express backends and Postgres—working on payments, authentication/SSO, KYC, and admin tooling. Prior to software, he brought engineering discipline from project roles in industrial automation, which informs his pragmatic approach to reliability and deployment. Currently at Xweave.io, he continues to scale product-facing systems after contributing to Cake Group and LifeSG, and he describes himself as a perpetual learner actively expanding his toolset. Notably, his background blends field commissioning experience with modern software practices, giving him an uncommon perspective on systems that must work reliably in production.
