Ling-chun So is a pragmatic full-stack developer with 8 years of experience building cloud-native Java applications and responsive front-ends, currently working at GRTgaz and SFEIR in Paris. He ships production systems using modern Java (11–21), Spring Boot, Kafka, AWS, PostgreSQL and Angular, and has strong experience with CI/CD, Elasticsearch and infrastructure-as-code. A frequent contributor to the JHipster ecosystem, he has improved caching (Redis) and Java formatting/parsing in high-profile repos, demonstrating attention to robustness and developer experience. His background includes both startup-style product development and large-scale migration/decommissioning projects in finance, giving him a taste for pragmatic solutions under constraints. He also brings a researcher's rigor from Sorbonne University, where he explored advanced graph algorithms, which surfaces in his careful handling of parsing, regex and test automation. Colleagues know him for quietly improving build/test infrastructure and for tackling subtle backend bugs that make systems more reliable.
