Summary
Chua Fai is a Lead UX Design Engineer in Singapore with 14 years of experience blending software engineering, design systems, and platform architecture to ship production-grade design tools and libraries. At Grab he architected the Design Platform and Duxton UI library—adopted across 1,000+ projects—and led initiatives that moved the UXE team from prototyping to a full Design Tech organization. He builds developer-facing products that close knowledge gaps, such as a vibe-coding mac app and cursor companion that enabled over 300 non-engineers to create 1,000+ projects and reduced token costs for production code. Comfortable from infrastructure to interface, he has delivered multi-region, secure EKS deployments, API and permission systems, and modern React/TypeScript stacks. Earlier roles as CTO and founder honed his end-to-end systems thinking in microservices, queues, and cloud migrations, while his background in rapid prototyping and tooling reflects a rare mix of hands-on engineering and product-focused design.
