engineer background, learning equities, bonds, options, structured products, termsheets, rules & regulations, and how people actually pick up the phone.

• ▸covering equities — then bonds, options, structured products (i think?) once licensed
• ▸built 3 internal tools because the system had no filters — team was eyeballing and checking things one by one manually
• ▸margin calculator because nobody wants to do math before 9am
• ▸if it's repetitive, it's getting automated — Python, Tableau, Excel, you name it
• ▸haven't licensed yet — one exam away from being legit

Univers Pte Ltd

Software Engineer (Backend), Intern · Singapore

Jan 2024 – Jul 2024

6 months of backend engineering across two teams. wrote a lot of Spring Boot and somehow didn't break production.

• ▸built microservices for a carbon credit platform — saving the planet one API at a time
• ▸email template system so the company can spam users in multiple languages automatically
• ▸90%+ code coverage (53 unit tests) — because my tech lead scared me into it
• ▸cut API response time by 50%+ by splitting services apart
• ▸rotated to Building Services team — went from carbon credits to electricity bills
• ▸dockerized Graylog for logging because reading raw logs is pain

• ▸reduced bugs by 70% — SonarQube gave me a gold star
