Senior Frontend Engineer Shueny Wang AI Solutions Builder
Frontend architecture that scales. AI features that ship.
Nine years of React and TypeScript across automotive cybersecurity, B2B SaaS, and e-commerce, including three and a half years at VicOne (Trend Micro) as sole frontend engineer. Since 2025, independent: lead frontend on enterprise platforms, and LLM products shipped end to end — RAG pipelines, agent workflows, and interfaces people trust.
Three Things, Done Deeply
Three Things, Done Deeply
Frontend architecture, AI integration, and the engineering practices that keep both maintainable.
Frontend Architecture at Scale
React, Next.js, Vue 3, and Nx monorepos for complex business domains. I design component systems and micro-frontend structures that stay fast and maintainable as teams and codebases grow.
AI Integration That Ships
Beyond API calls: RAG pipelines, prompt orchestration, multimodal parsing, and cost-aware model routing. I have built AI features as the sole engineer, from schema design to production deployment.
Engineering Quality & Mentoring
Automated testing (Cypress, Playwright), code review culture, and legacy refactoring. I raise the baseline so quality does not depend on any single person.

Impact Dashboard
Impact Dashboard
Numbers from real production systems at VicOne, Synttro, and Citiesocial, and from client platforms shipped independently since 2025 — not estimates from side projects.
Faster Time-to-Market
Reduced regression testing cycles via Cypress & TestRail integration.
Performance Boost
Improved render speeds and scalability using Next.js & Nx Monorepos.
Conversion Uplift
Optimized e-commerce funnels based on user behavior analytics.
Featured AI & Web Solutions
Featured AI & Web Solutions
Each project answers the same question: can AI capabilities become features real users rely on? Built end-to-end, from data pipeline to interface.
Lucky Duck — Rewards Platform MVP
A mobile-first MVP for a consumer rewards platform, designed and engineered end-to-end. The prototype is structured around measurable growth loops (acquisition, activation, retention) rather than static screens, so every interaction maps to a product hypothesis.
Personal AI German Tutor
A voice-first language simulator for real-life German, built for my own integration in Germany. Whisper handles speech recognition, Gemini provides context-aware feedback on grammar and pronunciation, and the whole thing runs as a PWA. Textbook German is not street German; this closes that gap.
AI Smart Travel Expense Tracker
Receipt in, structured data out. Gemini's multimodal parsing eliminates manual entry, while Supabase handles real-time group collaboration across currencies. The hard part was not the AI call; it was making the parsing reliable enough that users stop double-checking it.
Pilotfit — AI Job Search Platform
A full-stack AI platform that turns the chaos of job searching into structured strategy, built solo and running with real beta users.
Institutional Fintech Dashboard
High-density financial visualization for institutional users, where API contract precision and rendering performance are non-negotiable. No AI here, deliberately: it demonstrates the frontend rigor that the AI projects are built on.
Daily Tomato Todo
A Vue 3 + Pinia daily planner where the todo list and the Pomodoro timer are one product, not two features. Swipeable day cards, a calendar hidden behind the header date, and a focus mode that takes over the whole screen on purpose.
Data-Centre Asset Management Platform
Lead frontend on a client platform for managing data-centre inventory: 9 modules, 284 screens, four permission roles, and every write operation routed through a shared approval flow. The work here is architecture, not screens — decide once, compose everywhere.
Toxicology Research Platform
A Nuxt 3 analysis platform built for a university toxicology research team: mass-spectrum visualization, molecular similarity search, and reports that export straight out of a live analysis. Scientific tooling has a different bar — a plausible-looking chart is worse than no chart.
This Site — From SPA to Astro Islands
The site you are reading. Rebuilt from a fully client-rendered React SPA into Astro with islands architecture, then tuned until the mobile numbers stopped being embarrassing. Every optimization is written up in the blog, including the ones that did not work.
Writing & Notes
Build logs and technical notes — performance work with the numbers attached, case studies from shipped products, and what AI search changes about content.
Content Prioritization for AI Search: What to Double Down On, What to Stop Making
AI can answer the question, but the transaction still happens on your site. A walkthrough of Aleyda Solis’ AI search content prioritization guide — the four page types to raise, the four that now need a judgment call, and a six-criteria scorecard for ranking your topic list.
Designing Daily Tomato Todo: When the Todo List and the Timer Are One Product
A product + front-end case study on Daily Tomato Todo — a Vue 3 + Pinia daily planner with a full-screen Pomodoro. Why planning by day and focusing on one task should be the same motion, and how four design decisions carry the whole app.
Designing Lucky Duck: A Rewards Platform MVP as a Growth Function
A product + front-end case study on Lucky Duck — a consumer rewards platform MVP concept. How I structured the experience around growth loops, built a token-based design system for light & dark, and shipped a fully clickable prototype on the same stack the product would launch on.
AI 搜尋時代的內容優先級：哪些頁面該加碼，哪些該收手
AI 可以幫使用者回答問題，但交易還是發生在你的網站上。這篇整理 Aleyda Solis 的 AI 搜尋內容優先級指南——該拉高的四種頁面、要多一道判斷的四種內容，以及用六個項目替每個題目打分的方法。
設計 Daily Tomato Todo：當待辦清單和計時器是同一個產品
一個產品 + 前端的案例研究——Daily Tomato Todo，一個帶全畫面蕃茄鐘的 Vue 3 + Pinia 每日計畫工具。為什麼「按天計畫」和「專注做一件事」應該是同一個動作，以及四個設計決策如何撐起整個 app。
設計 Lucky Duck：把獎勵平台 MVP 當成一種成長函數
一個產品 + 前端的案例研究——Lucky Duck，一個消費者獎勵平台的 MVP 概念。我如何把體驗圍繞成長迴圈來設計、建立一套淺色與深色通用的 token 設計系統，並用產品實際上線會採用的同一套技術棧，做出完全可點擊的原型。
Content-Priorisierung für die KI-Suche: Worauf setzen, was weglassen
KI kann die Frage beantworten – die Transaktion passiert trotzdem auf deiner Website. Eine Auswertung von Aleyda Solis’ Leitfaden zur Content-Priorisierung in der KI-Suche: die vier Seitentypen, die hochgestuft gehören, die vier, die jetzt eine Vorprüfung brauchen, und ein Scorecard mit sechs Kriterien für deine Themenliste.
Daily Tomato Todo gestalten: Wenn Todo-Liste und Timer ein Produkt sind
Eine Produkt- und Frontend-Fallstudie zu Daily Tomato Todo — einem Vue-3-Tagesplaner mit Pinia und Vollbild-Pomodoro. Warum Tagesplanung und fokussiertes Arbeiten dieselbe Bewegung sein sollten und wie vier Designentscheidungen die ganze App tragen.
Lucky Duck gestalten: Eine Rewards-Plattform-MVP als Growth-Funktion
Eine Produkt- und Frontend-Fallstudie zu Lucky Duck — einem MVP-Konzept für eine Verbraucher-Rewards-Plattform. Wie ich das Erlebnis um Growth Loops herum strukturiert, ein token-basiertes Designsystem für Hell & Dunkel gebaut und einen voll klickbaren Prototyp auf genau dem Stack ausgeliefert habe, auf dem das Produkt starten würde.
Never two careers. One education.
Never two careers. One education.
My degree is in Computer Simulation and Design, where programming, 3D graphics, and visual design were a single curriculum. My Master's thesis was a 3D virtual museum guide built in Unity, then validated with quantitative usability research. Design and engineering have been one job for me ever since — which is why I own the architecture and the interface decisions together, rather than waiting for a finished spec to arrive.
In practice that means starting where the problem is still ambiguous: running discovery with domain experts, shaping the data model, then building the backend, the frontend, and the AI layer on top. LLM features especially live or die on interface decisions — how uncertainty is shown, when to ask for confirmation, where automation should stop and a human should decide. Those are design problems and engineering problems at the same time, and I have always worked on both sides of that line.
