Senior🎓
Top SchoolPai Wai is a UI/UX Frontend Tech Lead with 11 years of cross-platform engineering experience, currently leading frontend and design efforts at an AI startup in Tokyo. He blends strong frontend craftsmanship (React, TypeScript, responsive web migrations) with systems-level experience in C++, C#, Rust and Vulkan, enabling pragmatic solutions from embedded protocols to polished web UIs. At Carousell he led a sitewide adaptive-to-responsive migration, introduced developer tooling and linter plugins, and mentored teams to improve release quality and bundle performance.

He’s also an open-source contributor (co‑author of redux-flipper) and maintains a personal site showcasing projects and technical writeups.
