Hi, I'm Raymond Chan

Software Engineer | Stock Investor | Pokémon Collector

Passionate about building innovative solutions, investing in the markets, and collecting rare Pokémon products.

About Me

I’m a software engineer with experience in identity management, full-stack development, and building scalable, customer-facing products. I graduated from Rutgers University in just three years with a degree in Computer Science, then began my career implementing enterprise Identity Management solutions.

Later on, I worked on candidate-facing applications built on a modern SPA-BFF architecture and helped integrate a Content Management System that scaled from zero to hundreds of customers, empowering customers to easily customize their sites.

Outside of work, I’m an active stock investor with a focus on disciplined, options-based strategies. I’m also a long-time Pokémon collector and a dedicated RuneScape player with a fully maxed account.
