Kris Khaira

Hi. I’m a software engineering consultant, working since 2001 and based in Malaysia. I’ve worked solo and alongside teams, in start-ups and large organisations, across travel, transportation, film, education, social networks, non-profits and HR — from Sukabumi to Hungary.

I’ve spent half my career working remotely and as a digital nomad, so these days I specialise in building and scaling remote-friendly teams that can solve whatever technical problem you throw at them.

Highlights

• I’m currently working at SEEK
• I’ve been a Tech Lead with Gun.io clients
• I was the CTO at the AirAsia-acquired Touristly (aka AirAsia.com, Vidi, AirAsia Activities)
• I did front-end development and design at MUBI and Grab

More details in my CV and on LinkedIn.
