Mohamad Yaacob is a software engineer with 13 years' experience building backend systems and developer platforms, currently based in Kuala Lumpur and working with Go and TypeScript. He has driven high-impact projects across startups and scale-ups—reducing analytics report time by 6,000x at Billplz, improving homepage reliability for hundreds of millions of users at SEEK, and operating edge Kubernetes clusters for CDN delivery. Comfortable across databases, OLAP pipelines, CI/CD and infra automation, he combines hands-on coding (Go, JS/TS, Ruby, Python) with systems-level ownership and platform thinking. He’s led cross-team initiatives like large-scale sitemap and URL migrations to protect SEO and implemented observability and GitOps practices to reduce operational toil. Known to bridge product and operations, he often pairs measurable performance improvements with pragmatic engineering processes. Off-profile hint: his GitHub bio—"You are my sunshine"—suggests a personable, team-focused approach behind the technical depth.
