Speaker Profile
Dr Victor Tan is currently a consultant and trainer with DreamCatcher Consulting focusing on the area of full stack development, Big Data, and DevOps. He has provided consultancy and conducted professional training in key technology areas to payment network companies and banks in Malaysia that include Standard Chartered, Paynet, Worldline, CyberVillage as well as tech corporations and organizations that include Intel, Keysight, Shopee, MIMOS and IRIS.

He also helped pioneer the Cloudera Big Data Hadoop academic program, the first of its kind, in Malaysia.
Abstract
Full-stack development is a highly sought-after software skill in the finance and banking industry that requires complex web applications which provide critical services and functionality, especially with the rise of fintech and digitized financial activity. Since the issuance of the digital banking licenses by Bank Negara in April 2022, digital banks have emerged as a disruptor in the market and require well-designed and secure web apps for their operations. Correspondingly, there will be a boom in demand for the employee skillset (full stack development) that are capable of creating these apps correctly and efficiently.
The talk will introduce full stack development and the Angular framework as a core component in the technology stack typically associated with the finance / banking industries in Malaysia as well as globally. Full stack developers are well-recognized as a promising and well-paying career choice for IT students interested in software development in the finance/banking industries. We will examine the specific advantages and tasks that are associated with a full stack development job, as well as provide a summary of the learning roadmap required to attain mastery in this role.
