Engineer!

I'm a product engineer with deep love for building polished, pleasant, and impactful software on the internet.

I was born in Shanghai and am about 22.9000000000 years old.

  • I'm taking a short break in Japan (and doing some long overdue shopping for new clothes) before kicking off my next role.
  • I'm having fun building this new homepage for a new chapter of my life. It's good to be back in React (I wrote Svelte for 1.5 years). I'm enjoying some React 19 features like ref as props.
  • I'm re-reading Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think, Revisited and thinking about what has and hasn't changed since (with usability of AI products).
  • I'm learning Japanese!
