Work Experience

Nov 2023 - Present
Newcast · Remote
Co-Founder
Building the next generation of real-time voice agents — where AI reasoning meets human-like interaction.
  • Co-founded Newcast and led the technical direction, driving architecture design, rapid prototyping, and early product validation for real-time AI voice agents.
  • Built the initial MVP integrating LLM reasoning, speech streaming, and contextual memory, enabling natural, low-latency dialogue between users and agents.
  • Designed and implemented modular RAG and function-calling backends (LangChain + FastAPI + Pinecone) supporting dynamic API, database, and tool access.
  • Architected and deployed containerized microservices on AWS ECS with CI/CD automation, observability, and auto-scaling for multi-environment reliability.
  • Collaborated closely with product and GTM co-founders to align technical capabilities with market feedback and evolving user experience goals.
Mar 2021 - Nov 2023
KnowYourCustomer · Remote
Frontend Tech Lead
  • Led a team of frontend engineers in modernizing a legacy AML/KYC platform, driving migration to a unified component library and design system adopted across 5+ micro-apps.
  • Defined and implemented a scalable micro-frontend architecture using Webpack Module Federation, improving build isolation and deployment velocity.
  • Oversaw development of a custom UI toolkit (React + Tailwind + Storybook), enforcing code standards and reusable patterns across teams.
  • Established automated testing pipelines (Jest, Cypress) and review workflows, significantly improving release reliability and reducing regressions.
  • Collaborated cross-functionally with backend and DevOps leads to align API contracts, CI/CD processes, and release schedules for faster delivery.
Feb 2020 - Mar 2021
PwC Shanghai Acceleration Center · Shanghai, China
Senior Tech Lead
  • Led a team of engineers to build a full-stack analytics platform in TypeScript (Node.js + React), integrating D3.js and Google APIs for advanced business visualizations.
  • Architected modular backend services and reusable frontend components to enhance maintainability and development efficiency.
  • Established CI/CD pipelines and engineering standards to improve deployment consistency across teams.
