Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRay C is a senior software engineer based in Singapore with 17 years of experience building maintainable, test-driven systems across backend, frontend and low-level code. He’s comfortable shipping across the stack—from refactoring C/Cython string handling in lxml and contributing tests to the pure-Python Git library dulwich, to full-stack work on the Open Event server and improving CI/CD and code ownership for enterprise clients. A former law-enforcement officer turned consultant, he brings disciplined investigative instincts and clear communication to technical coaching, pair programming and agile transformations. At VMware Tanzu Labs he helped kick-start and modernize customer projects (Kafka/CQRS, TDD, low-code versioning) and now applies that craft at The Trade Desk. Notably, his open-source contributions demonstrate attention to cross-platform robustness and pragmatic engineering trade-offs that improve long-lived developer tooling.
