// hello, I am
Software Engineer
— Taipei, Taiwan
Polyglot engineer drifting between web, systems, and silicon. Endlessly curious — I pick up new tools fast, take hard problems apart, and let code do the heavy lifting.
The short version
I build software for a living and tinker for fun. My comfort zone stretches from typed React UIs at the front to Verilog modules at the bottom of the stack — whichever layer the problem lives on.
Recently I've been most interested in the seams between disciplines: where frontend meets product instinct, where backend meets distributed systems, where high-level languages meet the metal underneath.

Where I've put in the hours
Jun 2024 — Present
Shipping enterprise AI inference software on NVIDIA Jetson edge hardware, plus the robotics control + monitoring apps around it. FastAPI + Swagger on the backend, Vue / Nuxt on the front, K6 keeping the inference paths within latency budget.
Mar 2023 — May 2024
Led product development end-to-end and shipped the company's flagship platform — recognized with an industry award during my tenure. Joined the CEO on customer visits and pitches, coordinated integrations with engineering teams at partner companies, and mentored the engineers on my team.
Sep 2022 — Mar 2023
Owned product architecture and tech-stack selection across client engagements, built the systems alongside the engineers I mentored, and ran the company's servers. Joined the CEO on customer visits and pitches.
Jun 2020 — Present
Long-running contributor to NCCU's open-source community — building tools, bots, and web apps that serve students across campus. Work spans web (Vue / Nuxt / React + Vite + TailwindCSS), chat-bot platforms (LINE Bot), and an iOS companion app, with deployments on Docker and observability through ELK.
Jan 2020 — Sep 2022
Led recitation sessions, debugged student code, and ran after-class tutoring across programming and ML coursework.
Sep 2017 — Jun 2018
Rewrote firmware to improve product performance, built demo applications for the team's products, and produced explanatory videos.
Jun 2017 — Jun 2018
Teaching assistant for industry training programs — supported student debugging and produced course documentation.
Sep 2016 — Jun 2020
Supported Web / JavaScript / Swift / AI courses; helped students debug across the curriculum.

Things I've made that I still think about
Operations platform for fleet EV charging — talks to the charger directly, reads each site's contracted grid capacity, and runs an algorithm to push optimal charge-rate commands to every stall in real time. Also wired into the demand-response signal: when Taipower's grid is stressed the platform auto-throttles load so the operator earns the load-shedding rebate. Shipped end-to-end with the team.
Backend for the Open NCCU community, serving structured data through APIs to frontend engineers and product owners across the project.
A LINE bot with ~1k followers serving CS-graduate-school exam questions with real-time answer reveals and correct / incorrect counts. Custom commands are configurable via a public Google Sheet; a PTT crawler returns random Beauty-board posts; a YouTube crawler returns the first hit for a query; uploaded images get auto-rehosted to Imgur. Built with Node.js, LINE Messaging API, and Google Apps Script.
LINE bot for the NCCU Photo Club covering club info lookup and class sign-ups. Backed by a Google Sheet as the database — zero infra cost. Built with Node.js, LINE Messaging API, and Google Apps Script; originally hosted on Heroku free tier.
Telegram bot for real-time bus-arrival times at NCCU stops. Caches MOTC PTX responses on a 1-minute poll — fast UX without burning quota. Originally on Heroku, now self-hosted on a home NAS via Docker.
Web-based portrait / ID-photo cropping and rotation tool for a Taipei photo studio (好時有影). Forked cropper.js to fit their workflow — users upload a photo, crop and rotate live, then download a print-ready 4"×6" composite.
Full-stack management system for a Taoyuan photography-rental shop covering members, equipment inventory, and orders. Replaced a phone / walk-in workflow — customers can now self-register, browse stock, and book gear from the LINE bot, while the shop's web console keeps inventory, members, and orders in sync.
Single-page app for a graduate distributed-systems course: a tiny securities-trading playground built on a private Ethereum chain (Ganache), with smart contracts in Solidity wired up via Web3.js. Each user starts with 100 ETH for gas and trades through a MetaMask wallet against the on-chain order book.
Single-page app for a graduate data-viz course: pick assets across TW / US equities and crypto, set position size and direction, and the dashboard backtests the portfolio over a chosen window. K-line chart for the active asset, daily P&L bars, and a per-position pie chart shaded by gain/loss magnitude. Frontend in JavaScript with jQuery / D3.js / techan.js, Python Flask on the backend.
Discovered and responsibly disclosed an authentication-bypass at a large cram school — default credentials were the user's national ID, with no rate limiting on the login endpoint. Built a Node.js proof-of-concept that enumerated valid IDs against the live system, reported in May 2019; vendor patched.
24-hour hackathon project at NCTU SSLab's 2nd System Hackathon (2017, MorSensor track). Built with a teammate — the user carried a 9-axis Bluetooth sensor and walked from a known origin to a target inside a tiled hall; an Android app fused accelerometer / gyroscope / magnetometer streams in real time to estimate heading and stride length, with a tuned threshold separating genuine steps from sensor jitter. Final 3D coordinates were scored against the actual destination — placed Honorable Mention.

JURIX 2022 — Demo Session
Master's thesis demo paper at JURIX 2022 (35th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems). Built tooling for dataset retrieval and annotation prior to ML training — Elasticsearch handles large-scale search, Python orchestrates the ML / DL pipeline glue.

TAICHI 2020 — 6th Taiwan Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (Poster & Demo)
Designed and presented a course-review platform where students and teachers exchange feedback through three subjective dimensions — ease of grading (sweetness), workload (coolness), and knowledge depth — alongside ratings and end-of-semester comments. Aim: reduce mid-term withdrawals and tighten the feedback loop between students and instructors.

2nd System Hackathon · MoE Advanced Application Processor Alliance
Honorable Mention in the MorSensor track. Built a real-time positioning system using a 9-axis sensor relayed to an Android phone via Bluetooth — fused accelerometer / gyroscope / magnetometer data, applied a tuned threshold to distinguish motion from rest, then computed walked direction and distance from a known origin (0, 0, 0).
