Cloud engineer turned founder. I've run production for 1,000+ servers on AWS, wrote the first-pass Terraform guardrails for a greenfield AWS platform, and then started my own company, where I shipped full-stack AI-powered web and mobile apps by myself. I'm a self-taught developer: I learned Python through college, moved on to SvelteKit, and landed on Laravel. I work in English and Mandarin.
Open to new roles. I want to work on challenging problems with fun, hardworking people.

转型创业的云工程师。 我曾在 AWS 上负责 1,000 多台服务器的生产运维，为一个从零搭建的 AWS 平台编写了第一版 Terraform 护栏（guardrails），之后创办了自己的公司，独自开发并上线了全栈 AI 驱动的 Web 和移动应用。我是自学成才的开发者：大学期间学习 Python，之后转向 SvelteKit，最终选定 Laravel。我可以用英语和普通话工作。
正在寻找新机会。 我想和有趣、勤奋的人一起解决有挑战性的问题。
