Soh Keyang

I turn messy workflows into systems that work.

Software Engineer at Visa. I build internal tools, automate manual processes, and integrate AI into real engineering workflows — cutting execution time, reducing toil, and shipping things teams actually use.

About

Builder who thinks in systems

I'm Sky — a software engineer who gravitates toward the structural problems most people walk past. I see how pieces of a system fit together, find where they break, and build something that actually holds.

At Visa, I redesigned performance engineering workflows from the ground up — cutting test execution time by 50%, integrating AI tooling into daily engineering pipelines, and eliminating manual processes that were slowing the team down.

Outside work, I build end-to-end products (marketplaces, AI agents, business tools) and take on freelance projects where I own everything from requirements to deployment.

Strengths

What I bring

Systems over symptoms

I redesign the process, not just patch the bottleneck. At Visa, I replaced a manual performance testing pipeline with an automated system that cut execution time by 50%.

Full-chain builder

From requirements to deployment. Freelance and side products ship because I own the entire delivery chain.

AI in production, not demos

Integrated MCP servers and AI tooling into Visa's engineering workflows. Built Arlo — a multi-agent system that routes, plans, and executes tasks autonomously.

Engineer who can sell

I design systems that solve real problems, then articulate the value clearly to whoever needs to hear it — engineers, stakeholders, or investors. My startup pitch reached SMU BIG Incubator finals and won a national supercomputing prize.

Professional Experience

June 2024 — Present

Software Engineer

Visa Inc, Singapore

  • Redesigned performance engineering workflows end-to-end, cutting test execution time by 50% through automated pipelines and real-time data analysis — eliminating manual intervention entirely.
  • Integrated AI-powered tooling (MCP servers, Cline) into daily engineering workflows, enabling automated environment debugging, cross-tool interoperability, and consistent execution across the team.
  • Built and maintained automation frameworks in LoadRunner and custom scripting, reducing repetitive work and improving defect detection across multiple application surfaces.
  • Designed and executed comprehensive performance validation plans, ensuring applications met stringent SLAs under realistic load conditions.
  • Recognized internally for innovation-oriented work, particularly in applying GenAI to process improvement and developer productivity.
January 2024 — April 2024

System Quality Assurance Engineer

Shopee, Singapore

  • Led test planning and resource coordination across multiple workstreams, translating product requirements into structured test strategies.
  • Performed grey-box and white-box testing across APIs and system integrations, requiring deep understanding of service architecture and inter-component dependencies.
  • Collaborated closely with engineering and product stakeholders to align testing scope with delivery timelines and risk tolerance.
December 2021 — December 2023

Software Test Engineer → QA Lead (Mobile)

ADDX, Singapore

  • Led mobile app QA end-to-end — from test design and execution to defect management and release sign-off for major features including trading and crypto wallet.
  • Authored 500+ test cases across multiple feature releases, maintaining quality standards through iterative development cycles.
  • Collaborated with product stakeholders to provide accurate effort estimates, directly influencing project planning and sprint commitments.
June 2023 — September 2023

Freelance Full-Stack Engineer

  • Delivered a complete website for a solar start-up — from requirements gathering through deployment on AWS (Amplify, Lambda, API Gateway, Route 53).
  • Integrated Google Sheets and Drive APIs for client-managed content updates, removing the need for a CMS.
  • Managed the project end-to-end: technical architecture, client communication, design input, and operational setup including custom domain and email.

Arlo project preview

AI / Autonomous Systems

Arlo — Multi-Agent AI Assistant

Persistent AI assistant built as a Telegram bot. Multi-agent architecture routes tasks between Claude, Codex, and GLM-5 — handling planning, execution, and memory autonomously.

Urban Limo project preview

Full-Stack / Marketplace

Urban Limo — Transportation Marketplace

End-to-end marketplace with dynamic pricing, Stripe payments, role-based access, and real-time job matching. Built the entire stack — FastAPI backend, React frontend, AWS deployment.

SG Bingo project preview

Product / Mobile Web

SG Bingo — Social Bingo Game

Mobile-first social bingo app built for groups. Real-time card tracking, event pools, photo proof system, and shared leaderboards. Built with React and deployed on Vercel.

Millenia Energy

Freelance / Client Delivery

Millenia Energy — Solar Start-up

Full freelance delivery for a solar energy company. Gathered requirements, designed the architecture, built a Gatsby site on AWS, and integrated Google Sheets/Drive APIs so the client could manage content without a CMS.

Tensorblock DNA

Product / Blockchain

Tensorblock DNA — Document Notarization

Built a blockchain-based notarization platform for the construction industry, then refined it into a commercial product pitch. Reached SMU BIG Incubator finals and won the NSCC Supercomputing Resource Prize at LKY Global Business Plan Competition.

Crypto.com The Next Gen Hackathon

Hackathon / Rapid Delivery

Crypto.com — Web3 Hackathon

Adapted an existing blockchain codebase to a new business problem under time pressure. Built a working prototype and pitch deck from scratch in competition format.
