About

• I was born in 1997 and grew up in northern Taiwan in a middle-income family. My parents worked steady jobs and cared about saving money, finishing homework, and not buying things we did not need. We were comfortable, not rich. The rule was simple: do your part, stay honest, do not make life harder for other people.
• School was normal Taiwanese school: exams, bento boxes, cramming for tests, and pretending I was not tired. I liked math and computers more than memorizing poems. My teachers knew which subjects I cared about.
• In high school I picked the science track because I wanted problems with right answers. Wrong answers still happened. At least they were honest.
• I studied Information Engineering (資訊工程) at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University from 2014 to 2018. University taught me data structures, databases, and how to survive group projects where one person disappears before the demo. I was often the person who stayed late to fix the demo when the Wi-Fi died.
• After graduation I joined TPIsoftware as a web application developer and went to the office every day for about three years. I learned where the real Excel file lives, who actually approves changes, and why "small update" can mean three departments.
• In 2021 I joined Lucid Modules and worked remotely from New Taipei for about four years. My team was distributed from day one. I learned to write clearly, record decisions, and show progress without someone standing behind my chair.
• Remote work also taught me typhoon-day etiquette: if the internet stays up, you are online. If it does not, you message the team and eat whatever is in the fridge. Taiwan runs on this unspoken contract.
• Weekends I try to hike somewhere simple like 象山 or a trail in Yangmingshan. I am not an athlete. I am a person who stares at screens too much and needs stairs to remind him he has legs.
• I still meet friends at night markets when everyone is free, which is never, but we try. Talking over food is cheaper than therapy and tastes better.
• Around 2023 I started using AI tools for my own work: drafts, research, boring refactors. For clients I only add AI if they can explain what it does and how to turn it off. If they cannot explain it, we fix the process first.
• In 2024 I took a short trip to Japan. Mostly trains, food, and two days without opening my laptop. On day three I missed my IDE a little. That is how you know the break worked.
• I once fixed a production bug on a storm day off while half the team was offline. Nobody called me a hero. The client just needed the system back. That was enough.
• The project I am quietly proud of is not a flashy demo. It replaced a copy-paste routine for a business owner overseas and still runs months later. Boring is a compliment in my line of work.
• In late 2025 I started freelancing: custom software, automation, and AI integration for business owners. The best meetings are when someone opens a messy spreadsheet and says, "I know this is stupid, but we have done it this way for ten years." That is usually where the real project starts.
• Today I live in New Taipei. Same job: listen, build, document, support.

Ask me about the demo that died because nobody seeded the database, the client who trusted me only after version two, and the night market that ruined my diet for a week.
