About Me

I'm a Passionate Software Engineer

With a distinguished career spanning both China and New Zealand's tech sectors, I've evolved from a junior developer to a seasoned software engineer. My journey includes a notable achievement as the head of engineering at a prominent software company in Beijing, before transitioning to my current role as a software engineer in Auckland, where I continue to drive innovation and technical excellence.

My expertise lies in architecting and implementing sophisticated software solutions, particularly in mission-critical domains such as enterprise financial platforms, e-commerce systems, and comprehensive business management solutions (ERP, CRM). As a full-stack developer, I leverage my deep knowledge of .NET, React, and cloud technologies to deliver scalable, high-performance applications that drive business success.
