Shiaw Tan is a Staff Software Engineer based in Singapore with 12 years of experience and eight focused on frontend engineering, known for building responsive web apps and reusable component libraries at companies like Ruckus Networks and DBS. She bridges design and engineering effectively, leading internal UI libraries, bootstrapping React/Redux boilerplates, and mentoring teams through migrations and performance debugging. Her hands-on work includes building an email editor and embeddable widgets from scratch, and she favors practical, framework-light solutions informed by deep JavaScript fluency and TDD practices. A frequent conference speaker, she presents on real-world frontend hacks—from autofill quirks to CSS-only demos—revealing a curiosity for how things work beyond typical code. Outside of work she crafts soaps and leather goods and tends to a small orchid collection, reflecting a maker’s mindset that carries into her approach to engineering.
