Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer
13 years building software — from embedded systems in Singapore's semiconductor industry to cloud-native fintech in Australia. I go by Laksh.
About
I'm a full-stack engineer with a background that spans hardware-adjacent systems, enterprise desktop software, cloud infrastructure and fintech. I started writing C++ for manufacturing equipment in Singapore and over 13 years worked my way through .NET, React, Go and AWS.
I care about clean architecture, observable systems and teams that ship. Currently at Eightcap in Melbourne — building payment infrastructure for a global trading platform.
MSc in Computer Control and Automation from NTU Singapore. BE in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Anna University, India.
