About

Backend engineer from Taiwan with 6+ years in Go, building scalable microservices and distributed systems. Skilled at designing REST and gRPC APIs, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native infrastructure.

Strong with MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, and AWS/GCP, with hands-on experience integrating payment systems. I approach software with minimalist logic — code should be efficient and readable.

Backend Engineer

Design and build open-source backend services and developer tools in Go, solo from problem definition to release.

  • Designed minurl, an OpenAPI-first URL shortener, from its Feistel-permuted Base58 ID scheme to distroless images with liveness and readiness probes.
  • Built graft, a git dependency manager, verifying every install against a content hash and deduplicating trees in a shared content-addressed store.
  • Shipped mint, a provider-agnostic LLM translation CLI, isolating untrusted input from model instructions to block prompt injection.
  • Published Go libraries — gsyncmap, tz, and errgroup — filling gaps in the standard library.
  • Distributed the same Go binary to Homebrew, PyPI, and npm from one GoReleaser pipeline.
  • Gated every PR with GitHub Actions CI and CodeQL, keeping Claude Code and Copilot in the loop.
