Alvis Ng

Technical lead, 15 years in software. I started in product management, moved into engineering, and ended up leading teams. Based in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

These days I build production AI infrastructure — data extraction, embedding pipelines, RAG systems, MCP servers, agentic workflows. The full stack from raw data to working product.

I've shipped AI-powered platforms, autonomous multi-agent systems, and search infrastructure that handles real users with real expectations. The kind of work where retrieval quality matters more than model size.

I write weekly on Medium about what AI is actually doing to engineering careers — the hiring pipeline collapsing for juniors, the rituals teams won't let go of, what happens to craft when the tools get faster than the judgment.

I work with teams and founders who are past the prototype stage and need AI systems that hold up in production. Not demos. Not proofs of concept. The thing after that.

I care about the engineering that happens after the hype. The part where it has to actually work.
