Summary
Kenneth T is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in trading systems with 10 years’ experience building high-throughput, low-latency microservice architectures and resilient cloud platforms. He has led engineering teams and architected production systems across crypto and fintech—designing a derivatives exchange achieving 4–6ms latency at 3.5k TPS on a single sharded instance, re-architecting accounting and withdrawal systems, and driving major migrations and incident responses. Comfortable across backend, SRE and system design, he combines Domain-Driven Design, AWS expertise and message-bus architectures (NATS) to turn ambiguous product goals into pragmatic, auditable solutions. A fast learner with a hacker’s curiosity, he began by taking things apart and taught himself to rebuild them better—a trait that surfaces in his penchant for automation, performance tuning and post-mortem culture. Based in Singapore, he mentors engineers, shepherds stakeholder expectations, and maintains an active online presence (yesyouken.space) for bookings and CV.
