01About

As a Tech Lead at Tektome, I oversee a team of 6 backend and 6 frontend engineers to deliver efficient and scalable backend solutions — and lead AI coding agent adoption across the engineering org.

My role involves managing software infrastructure, collaborating with cross‑functional teams, and staying updated with emerging backend technologies. Recently, I contributed to the integration of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini's chat models into our application, enhancing customer experiences through personalized support in collaboration with the data science team.

I pursued an MBA at Chulalongkorn University, building on my passion for technology leadership and software infrastructure. With a focus on developing AI‑integrated solutions, my career reflects a dedication to leveraging innovative tools and methodologies to drive impactful results.

I don't just build systems that work — I build systems that last.
