About me
I started in aerospace engineering and numerical optimization before moving into computer science and enterprise technology. That path shaped how I approach problems: understand the system, make the tradeoffs explicit, and connect the details to the larger objective.
Today, my work spans technology leadership and hands-on product development. I’m based in Ottawa and work fluently in English and Mandarin.
