Senior🎓
Top SchoolHo Bao is a Staff Engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable backend systems and data platforms, currently leading engineering at Tookitaki in Singapore. He specializes in Scala and functional programming, driving robust Scalatra-based APIs and applying libraries like Cats, Doobie, and Cats-Effect to keep codebases nearly referentially transparent. Ho has a proven record of performance tuning and reliability—cutting MySQL queries on 40M+ records from two minutes to ten seconds and speeding deployments from 10 minutes to 30 seconds via CI/CD improvements. His background spans data engineering, real-time architectures, and machine learning pipelines, from Spark and Hadoop to Kafka and Redis, enabling cross-functional analytics and product features. He mentors teams, enforces high test coverage, and architects reusable boilerplate to accelerate delivery across projects. An unexpected strength is his blend of deep functional-programming discipline with hands-on data engineering, allowing him to optimize both correctness and large-scale throughput.
