About me

After leaving Investment Banking as an analyst, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My core stack is React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and Python. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software developer.

When I am not learning something new, I enjoy surfing, watching movies, and cooking. I am also a huge fan of Taiwanese indie music!
