Professional resume
Michael ChuaSolutions architect and hands-on software engineer.
I turn complex enterprise requirements into practical data flows, integrations, and interfaces, then stay hands-on through implementation, QA, and production support.
- Integration architecture
- Event collection, data modeling, CDP inputs, API flows, and downstream activation.
- Hands-on engineering
- JavaScript, Node.js, front-end implementation, QA, and production troubleshooting.
- Client delivery
- Discovery workshops, stakeholder alignment, UAT, documentation, and training.
Profile
Architecture through delivery.
A career built around translating ambiguity into systems that teams can implement, operate, and improve.
Since 2017, I have designed, implemented, and supported enterprise marketing technology, data collection, integration, and web application solutions. I currently lead client services for the data collection layer of Oracle Marketing Cloud offerings, translating customer goals into event schemas, API and data flows, segmentation logic, and downstream orchestration.

Experience
A clear progression at Oracle.
Three roles spanning solution engineering, enterprise consulting, architecture, and delivery.
Company
Oracle
New York, NY
January 2017 - Present
Senior Principal Consultant
June 2021 - Present
- Lead client services for the data collection layer of Oracle Marketing Cloud offerings, serving as solutions architect for customer event capture, data modeling, segmentation inputs, and downstream activation workflows.
- Translate enterprise requirements into technical designs spanning data collection, CDP and segmentation, integration middleware, and messaging platforms; define system ownership, payload needs, routing logic, and monitoring expectations.
- Architect and implement REST API- and webhook-based integrations across Oracle platforms and third-party systems, including custom data flows and event-triggered workflows.
- Guided cross-functional design for an enterprise campaign orchestration workflow by clarifying trigger-source data gaps, centralizing eligibility criteria, and aligning downstream routing across two messaging platforms.
- Performed hands-on JavaScript and CSS validation and refactor support for financial-services career-site work; compared development, test, and production assets, identified missing artifacts, validated merged code, and supported QA/UAT handoff.
- Act as an escalation point for complex platform, data, and integration issues; diagnose with data viewers, API behavior, logs, configuration, and customer requirements, then create documentation and training for internal teams and clients.
Principal Consultant
October 2018 - June 2021
- Delivered enterprise marketing technology implementations with an emphasis on scalable configuration, platform integration, data-driven campaign execution, and customer adoption.
- Designed integrations between Oracle Marketing Cloud products and external systems, translating customer workflows into data mappings, technical requirements, and implementation plans.
- Led technical discovery sessions, implementation workshops, and UAT support with client stakeholders, implementation teams, and third-party partners.
- Advised clients on platform architecture, UX optimization, personalization strategy, and campaign data flows while balancing business goals against implementation risk.
Solutions Engineer
January 2017 - September 2018
- Developed experimentation, personalization, and web experience solutions using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS for enterprise clients.
- Built and deployed A/B/n and multivariate testing frameworks, custom front-end behaviors, and tracking logic across complex client environments.
- Ensured cross-browser compatibility and translated technical constraints into clear recommendations for non-technical stakeholders, sales teams, and customer contacts.
Selected personal projects
Projects that make the engineering visible.
Current builds that demonstrate typed systems, workflow design, testing, and practical interface decisions in action.
