Summary
Pou Yan is a Principal Software Engineer based in Kuala Lumpur with over a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native systems, developer tools, and automation pipelines. He blends deep runtime and framework knowledge with a zero-dependency, minimalist philosophy—favoring tiny, composable solutions in JS, Lua, Bash and Go—and a long-standing involvement in web standards and proposals. He has led engineering teams and platform initiatives across startups and scale-ups, architecting CI/CD, serverless integrations, and resilient AWS infrastructures while shipping open-source tooling like a proxy-api-transformer. Equally at home designing high-level architectures and tweaking window manager scripts, Pou lives the Unix philosophy: obsessed with automation, minimal code, and improving developer experience. That mix of systems-level curiosity and practical delivery makes him a go-to architect for lean, reliable platforms.
