A mind for systems. A habit of building.
I'm a Computer Engineering undergraduate at NTU and a Software Engineer Intern at AMD, with experience across full-stack development, automation, data workflows, and engineering operations.
Background
I turn ambiguous, data-heavy problems into practical software, from APIs and queue-backed services to analysis tools and reliable delivery pipelines.
My recent work spans Jenkins-based CI/CD, scalable engineering infrastructure, and parallel-computing projects using MPI, CUDA, and OpenMP.
Engineering Focus
Software engineering: I build end-to-end systems across APIs, databases, caching, asynchronous jobs, CI/CD, and responsive interfaces, with an emphasis on validation, testing, and maintainability.
Quantitative work: I use Python, data analysis, and financial models to structure market research, with a growing focus on time-series analysis, optimization, simulation, and backtesting.

Better late than never. Twice.
I never got around to posting this last year, so I guess this is a two-for-one update. Glad to share that I made the NTU Computer Engineering Dean’s List for both AY2024–2025 and AY2025–2026. The difficult problems, wrong approaches, and occasional setbacks often ended up teaching me the most.

What could we
make next?
I'm open to Software Engineering and Quantitative Finance internships, technical collaborations, and other career opportunities. If my experience could contribute to your team, I’d be glad to connect.
