About / 01

I like turning messy data and technical problems into tools people can actually use.

My path crosses data engineering, cybersecurity, applied AI, and the communities where people learn those subjects together. I care about turning that complexity into tools, workflows, and explanations that people can actually use.

02 / Path

  1. 2019–2023

    NTUST

    Studied Industrial Management with a Computer Science minor, learning to connect analytical thinking with software engineering.

  2. 2019–2023

    Data Analysis Club

    Co-founded and led a learning community, organizing 30+ technical workshops and mentoring students in Python and data analysis.

  3. 2021–2026

    Institute for Information Industry

    Moved from data processing into security-oriented data products, backend systems, applied machine learning, and AI-assisted retrieval.

  4. 2022–2023

    RWTH Aachen

    An exchange in Business and Economics introduced a different academic culture—and a wider view of how environment shapes learning.

  5. Now

    Notes from the work

    Developing AI-native workflows and turning projects, notes, and repeatable methods into a public system for learning in the open.

03 / Practice

  1. 01

    Structure before automation

    Understand the data, constraints, and decisions first. AI and automation are most useful after the shape of the problem is clear.

  2. 02

    Build through vertical slices

    Validate a small but complete path through the system before committing to a large architecture.

  3. 03

    Document the reasoning

    Keep the trade-offs, failed approaches, and repeatable methods—not only the polished result.

04 / Elsewhere

Outside project work, I'm interested in how places, communities, and learning environments shape the way people build and collaborate.

05 / Contact

Working on something in software, data, security, or AI? Let's chat.

I'm interested in software, backend, and data engineering roles, especially work involving applied AI, data-intensive systems, developer tooling, or security-oriented products. I'm also open to collaborations that turn complex technical problems into useful products.
