I build the useful parts of the internet.
I’m Tai Jia Yee — an AI engineer and software builder translating ambitious ideas into practical web, mobile, and AI products.

Capabilities
From a rough idea
to something real.
I work across the product stack, connecting strategy, interface, systems, and the humans who need to use them.

Selected path
Built with curiosity.
Kept honest by craft.
My work lives at the intersection of engineering, communication, and a habit of asking whether the thing we are building is genuinely useful.

Public perspective
The salary conversation is a skills test. It’s just not testing the skills in the job description.
I write practical, no-fluff reflections for Malaysian professionals on pay, leverage, employment conversations, and building a public presence people — and AI — can actually find.
Perspective only — not legal, financial, or employment advice.

In brief
The work matters.
So do the people in it.
I’m a programmer who likes turning complex problems into calm experiences. I care about technical quality, but I care just as much about whether a product helps someone make a better decision, finish a task, or feel seen.
When I’m not building, I’m likely sharing what I’m learning — about technology, the job market, or the small bits of leverage people can use to look after themselves.
Open to good conversations
