Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Tse is a seasoned engineering leader based in Hong Kong with over two decades of hands-on experience building internet, mobile, and Linux applications and more than a decade in senior technical roles. Currently Head of Engineering, Platform at Lalamove, he led the platform’s shift to a microservice architecture using gRPC/HTTP2 and drove integrations with major API clients like Google and LINE. As a former CTO and founder, he shipped full-stack social networking products and mobile apps using cross-platform Qt, real-time Node.js services, and diverse datastores (MySQL, Redis, MongoDB). He combines strategic product thinking with low-level systems experience—from multithreaded C++ servers to MQTT/APNS push pipelines—making him comfortable across infrastructure, backend, and mobile domains. Known for pragmatic choices that reduce cost and complexity (e.g., Qt reuse for cross‑platform apps), he excels at turning complex technical requirements into maintainable, production-ready systems.
