About Me

Hello there! I’m Yao-Hui Chua (蔡耀辉), though I usually just go by Yao here in the US.

I’m from Singapore and I moved to Seattle in 2020. Since then, I’ve mostly been working as a Senior Front-End Engineer at Amazon Health Services. My work involves building the digital storefront experience for Amazon Pharmacy and scaling our design system across the wider Amazon Health organization.

In Singapore, I worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Carousell, where I redesigned our interview process, rewrote our chat frontends, and took ownership of our selling experience on the web.

I love painting pixels with code and architecting systems with AWS CDK. TypeScript and React are my go-to tools, but I’m also comfortable working with Java or Python. I can be a CSS nerd when the situation calls for it.

As an undergraduate at Yale-NUS, I had the privilege of pursuing a liberal arts education, which fundamentally shaped my approach to software. I majored in computer science while exploring the intersections of philosophy, history, and the social sciences. With the support of my college, I was able to broaden my education even further with classes at NUS and a year-long study abroad program at Harvard.

When I’m not busy with work or dabbling with code, I spend my time trying to get better at Japanese and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Feel free to reach out.
