Work Background
HalongPayVice President of Payment Solutions and CTO
Dec. 2019Hanoi, Hanoi, VietnamA joint Swedish Vietnamese development project to build efficient payment railways and create an integrated wallet solution with infrastructure that should support many different currency pairs. Initially we set up to build a system that focused on traditional banking and Swift transactions, rather than the blockchain solution of Plingpay but which was to incorporate much of its ideas around matching transactions and wallet design. This was done as a joint project between Plingpay and Halongpay. The premise was that Halongpay would have a full e-money license in Europe and that a number of services would be rolled out, ranging from a 5G internet solution in Vietnam to an early e-ID for the Vietnamese market for which the app and system was to be made ready. I worked on this both as a consultant from Plingpay and as a CTO for the joint project. I led both our small Swedish team from Plingpay and Vietnamese developers from leading Vietnamese companies contracted by Halongpay on site from Hano. The primary languages used for the backend solution were Java and Python and for the frontend we used the React Native framework. While this project was delivered, as the e-money license and a lot of the add on projects were delayed, we changed focus to creating a limited remittance only solution, where we would work as agents under licensed partners in each country, but with an upgraded design and look and a very adoptable backend that could be reconstructed at short notice based on changing requirements from different licensed partners. For this project, I worked together with the general manager to recruit the developers and designers we wanted in house and got a very strong team together . The backend was built in Postgrest which allowed us to use individual SQL requests almost like independent micro services and create an extremely adoptable yet secure backend service which I think can be interesting for many other types of projects.
