Tingan Ho is an engineer and language designer with 13 years of experience building everything from front-end design tools to compiler internals. Currently architecting a new native programming language in Stockholm, he’s focusing on static dependency injection, custom type functions for ORM without annotations, and an integrated testing approach to improve memory safety. His open-source contributions to the TypeScript compiler (including patches, tests, and language features) demonstrate deep familiarity with type systems and compiler engineering. Past roles range from leading UI teams and shipping a Sketch/Figma-like banner design tool to systems work in C++ at Spotify and embedded development, showing breadth across high-level UX and low-level platforms. Notably, he has implemented toolchains from scratch—researching Mach-O, ELF, PE32 and multiple ISAs—rather than relying on LLVM, which reflects a commitment to foundational engineering.
