Senior🎓
Top SchoolRi Chen is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 11 years' experience, currently driving platform and modernization work at GovTech Singapore. Comfortable across React/TypeScript frontends and Spring Boot backends (Kotlin/Java), Ri has architected extensible mock services, implemented distributed XA transactions with Narayana, and delivered RAG-powered retrieval features for an internal LLM checker that achieved strong beta user metrics. They combine system-level thinking—designing cutover plans and reliable payment flows like Stripe PayNow—with hands-on optimizations that processed tens of thousands of files and improved API and SQL performance. A background that spans accessibility tooling, infrastructure-as-code on AWS, and advising student projects highlights a mix of technical depth and mentorship. Notably, Ri balances production reliability with experimentation, having integrated novel LLM retrieval workflows alongside mission-critical government services.
