About
To live is to experience, and I love making that experience the best of it for people.
Back in the 90s, a Nokia commercial in Taiwan translated "Connecting People" as 「科技始終來自於人性」-- "technology comes from humanity"; that idea stuck with me ever since. Design and technology aren't separate disciplines, they're intertwined: the thinking that shapes what gets built is design, and design is the intention behind every technical decision.
I'm a full stack engineer with nearly 10 years of experience building and maintaining production web applications. While I'm comfortable across the stack, I'm especially interested in the intersection of frontend engineering and user experience, which is just as important to me as solving the underlying business problem.
How I Work
Some principles that guide how I build solutions:
- Start with why + what -- understand not only business requirement, but also intent and context
- Iterate towards clarity than overplanning upfront
- Clarity over cleverness in code -- write for the next engineer, which might be my future self
Outside of work, I enjoy spend time on:
- Renovating my house
- My 3 cats
- Reading fiction novels
- Driving a truck in Europe (i.e. Euro Truck Simulator 2) on Steam Deck
