Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Ma is a founder and seasoned engineering leader with 13 years’ experience building high-throughput, resilient systems and product-facing platforms across FinTech, AdTech, and real-time services. He led teams and architecture at Endowus and Grab, shipping trading, KYC/AML, and cash management infrastructure that support hundreds of thousands of users and a regional digital bank launch. Earlier roles at Pocketmath and Zendesk reflect deep expertise in low-latency distributed systems and operational reliability, while his co-founding of VR/AR studio Quantum Jump shows a knack for product delivery and cross-disciplinary team growth.
