Jason Kam

Led high-impact financial validation and grant disbursement systems delivering $10.7M+ in payouts, improving performance by ~60%, refactoring frontends for multi-team velocity, and reducing security response times by 93% across critical government services.

• •Owned and led fullstack development of a financial validation and grant disbursement platform handling 2.5M+ user records and processing $10.7M+ in payouts, ensuring responsive UX, accurate high-volume data workflows, and robust backend validation (Angular + Spring Boot + PgSQL)
• •Enhanced system performance and scalability by migrating databases from MySQL → PostgreSQL via AWS DMS, achieving ~60% throughput improvement and enabling horizontal scaling for complex workloads.
• •Refactored monolithic frontend into independent React microsites, enabling multiple teams to work concurrently, improving release velocity and reducing cross-team integration risk
• •Strengthened security posture across 6 services by implementing real-time CVE monitoring and automated remediation, achieving 93% reduction in vulnerability response time (from 2 weeks to 1 day)
• •Boosted developer productivity by ~50% (feature delivery ~4–5 days → ~2–3 days) through AI-assisted code reviews, automated CI/CD workflows, AI-driven programming optimizations, and Jest testing

Selected as one of only 20 candidates for the exclusive Technology Associate Programme (TAP), a highly competitive leadership-trainee programme designed to develop technical expertise and professional skills within Singapore's public sector technology initiatives.

• •Built reusable, configurable frontend components for $2.5M+ in government grant disbursements using test-driven development (TDD) and Jest unit testing, ensuring robust, maintainable, and high-quality code
• •Architected a real-time WebSocket-enabled web application for an AI temperature detection system, enabling low-latency monitoring and alerting
• •Designed and shipped React-based grant application portal for 5,000+ monthly users, improving user experience and accessibility
• •Mentored engineers and interns through code reviews, providing guidance on optimized solutions that improved code quality and accelerated development speed.
