Xian Yang Wong
Technical Director / Architect
More than a decade across software engineering and architecture, including line management, technical governance and hands-on implementation. I lead solution design, set engineering standards and manage technical risk across cloud, integration and AI initiatives.
Melbourne, Australia
Selected work
Four examples spanning AI application development, data orchestration, a public digital platform and cloud infrastructure.
Hands-on work within the AI Capabilities team on a Rust and Tauri desktop application using AWS Bedrock for meeting assistance and feedback.
As Solution Architect and Tech Lead, designed the orchestration architecture for a custom customer data platform and led the technical work across Python, Apache Airflow and GCP Cloud Composer.
Led technical delivery across the front end, Java back end and containerised development workflow for Sydney Airport’s public website.
Designed and implemented repeatable Azure infrastructure in Terraform. My own agent-assisted workflow reduced the design and setup work to about 25% of the original estimate.
Technical leadership
Translate business goals into technical options, assumptions, trade-offs, estimates and an implementation plan people can review.
Set standards for architecture, code quality, release planning and documentation. Mentor engineers and step in when a team needs a technical escalation point.
Keep security, integration and operational risk visible from discovery through implementation, and remain close enough to the work to test important decisions.
