Background

My path into engineering did not start in a computer science classroom. I studied International Business in Taipei and spent the early part of my career on the product and marketing side, where I taught myself to code so I could build the things I was responsible for shipping. That habit grew into building full-stack products that real companies and real users came to depend on. I am now pursuing my MS in Computer Science at Northeastern to strengthen the fundamentals beneath the work I had already been doing.

The pivot is the point. I learned to engineer by shipping software that people actually use, and I bring that same bias toward real, working results to everything I build, whether that is a production analytics platform or a system of AI agents that ships software on its own.
