Senior🎓
Top SchoolTommy Ku is a Senior Associate Software Engineer based in Hong Kong with 12 years of full‑stack web development experience across fintech and product companies. At JPMorgan Chase he applies scalable engineering practices honed through earlier roles building payment features, multi-user integrations and authentication systems for high‑volume platforms. His background spans front- and back-end stacks including NodeJS, Ruby/Sinatra and AngularJS, with a strong habit of improving test coverage and refactoring legacy code to reduce technical debt. A seasoned freelancer and former startup developer, he combines product-focused UX work and user research with hands-on implementation—evidenced by shipping features that served thousands of merchants and integrating customized open-source tools. He’s quietly experimental (thinking about what to build next) and bridges business and engineering perspectives thanks to dual degrees in Computer Science and Business Management.
