Summary
Victor Teo is a founder and hands-on full-stack engineer with 12 years of experience building production systems, developer tools, and open-source frameworks. He created and led Teo, a Rust-based "schema as backend" project that includes a DSL, ORM, HTTP layer, language bindings, code generators, VSCode integration, and a full-text search engine—work he treated as a full-time, non-commercial passion. Previously he ran two software agencies, led engineering teams at PwC Shanghai, and shipped products across Ruby on Rails, Python, Swift, TypeScript, and React stacks. Victor combines deep systems-level Rust expertise with practical product delivery and people management, having trained and managed small distributed teams serving Hong Kong and international clients. Multilingual in English, Cantonese, Teochew and Mandarin, he pairs a developer-first technical rigor with strong cross-cultural communication. An unconventional career path—from self-taught iOS developer to Oracle and international tech leads—underscores his pragmatic curiosity and ability to bridge engineering and product.
