Summary
Pak Tan is a Senior Software Engineer based in Singapore with nine years of hands-on experience building scalable, cross-platform systems for mobile, web, and cloud. At Grab he progressed from database engineering to senior engineering roles, and previously delivered high-impact ML-enabled products at Vebits—designing distributed data and inference systems that achieved multi-thousand-percent speedups and handled 10k+ daily tenant requests. He blends a mechatronics background from Nanyang Technological University with practical ML and computer vision expertise, shipping edge ML mobile apps, model pipelines, and precision desktop imaging tools. Pak prioritises efficient, maintainable code and test-driven automation that accelerates development and QA, and he enjoys adopting new tech stacks to solve real-world problems. An attention to embedded systems and robotics projects (including wireless beetle-control research) gives him a unique systems-to-ML perspective not obvious from a typical software resume.
