Kinlong Leung is a software engineer based in the UK with about nine years of professional experience and a strong full-stack focus on React, React Native, Node.js and TypeScript. He’s currently driving modern web architecture at Altium, leading migrations to Next.js App Router and React Server Components while introducing Playwright E2E testing and AST-driven automation for documentation. His background spans digital identity research and proof-of-concept builds, REST API design with Django, and data-driven front-end work using Vue and D3, giving him breadth across product, research and engineering. Kinlong pairs a solid academic foundation (MSc in Computer Software Engineering, cum laude) with practical delivery in regulated and enterprise contexts such as insurance and industrial SaaS. He’s comfortable operationalizing new paradigms—LLM-powered UIs and component decoupling among them—to speed iteration and improve maintainability. Outside the obvious tech stack, he brings a systems-thinking perspective shaped by earlier mechanical and civil engineering simulation work.
