I’m Mei Chuan (Andy) Lu, a software engineer focused on building distributed, cloud-native web applications and delivering production-ready outcomes. Over the past few years, I’ve owned end-to-end architecture and delivery for greenfield platforms, crafted REST APIs with measurable latency improvements, and built secure authentication and authorization flows using JWT. I enjoy engineering work that combines performance, reliability, and clean CI/CD practices. I’ve delivered dozens of user-facing interfaces, optimized microservices and data models on AWS, and integrated real-time updates and third-party APIs to power cross-system experiences. I also continue to build with modern TypeScript/React/Next.js and cloud security patterns such as RLS in Supabase.
