Full-stack engineer · 20 yrs · AI-first

Jacky JouFull-Stack Engineer

Twenty years of full-stack development. Promoted to foreman — the crew is AI.
I break down requirements, define specs and review the code; the AI writes it.

How I work
these days

Recently, as a contract full-stack engineer, I worked on a fintech payments product. The working model:

Claude Code as the primary development tool. I decompose requirements, define specs and review every output; the AI writes the code.
Took over an existing React (Vite) frontend for feature development and maintenance.
Years of hands-on experience let me judge whether the AI's code is right, so I also took part in developing and maintaining the Java backend, which was never my stack.
Set up the Capacitor iOS/Android environment, handled Android APK builds, iOS certificates and provisioning profiles, and TestFlight distribution.
An engineer's core value is shifting from writing code to directing AI to produce the right code, and judging whether it is right. Twenty years of hands-on work has become the footing for that judgment.
