Injured Dev

Hi, I'm Erik. A software engineer and frontend enthusiast. I enjoy working with web technologies like React, Next.js and crafting great product experiences.

When I don't dev, I get injured playing sport.

I'm currently a frontend engineer at TikTok, working to build the best search experience for our 1B++ users. Some of my works include developing Search Analytics for Creators (opens in a new tab) from scratch, and enabling users to discover product coupons, book hotels and more through TikTok Search.

Prior to TikTok, I was at Endowus (opens in a new tab) - a leading fintech in Singapore, building platform for people like myself invest better. Parts of that are modernizing the frontend stack and expanding to Hong Kong. Before that, I worked as a frontend engineer at Rakuten Viki (opens in a new tab), where I tried to make the web experience better for fans around the world to enjoy their favorite Asian content. I also developed a new design system to help streamline the UX for Soompi (opens in a new tab) and helped build Rakuten Sports from the ground up, which (I supposed) then became the live sport part of Rakuten TV (opens in a new tab).
