About
My love for technology started long before I ever had a formal job. Growing up in Hong Kong, I was the kid who enjoyed creating simple web games in PHP and CGI just for fun. Building things, solving puzzles, and experimenting with ideas has always been part of who I am.
I originally studied Chemistry at university in Hong Kong, but everything changed during an exchange semester at TUM in Germany. That experience wasn’t only about academics. I discovered new perspectives through the culture, the food, and even the beer. Traveling and meeting people from different backgrounds opened my mind and shaped how I approach challenges today.
When I entered the professional world, I naturally looked for ways to improve processes. I started automating tasks with VBA and later built workflows in Power Automate that saved my team hours of repetitive work. That was my turning point. I realized my passion was in using technology to simplify life and make things more efficient. Since then, I have focused on Cloud and DevOps, moving away from the lab bench and into building scalable infrastructure with tools like Terraform and Bicep.
Outside of tech, I enjoy bringing ideas to life with my 3D printer, whether it is a useful gadget or a custom design. Music is also a big part of my life. I play piano, keyboard, and guitar, which helps me relax and express creativity in a different way. I also enjoy hiking and camping, something that grew from weekends outdoors in Hong Kong. On quieter days, I like gaming on my Xbox, Switch, or even revisiting some retro classics. Cooking is another way I unwind and explore creativity.

I build scalable, automated, and efficient solutions. The following projects demonstrate how I apply these concepts.
Serverless Portfolio with CI/CD on Azure
Deployed a serverless, CI/CD-enabled personal portfolio website on Azure. Implemented a visitor counter using an Azure Function (Python) to write to a Cosmos DB table, triggered via a REST API. Automated infrastructure provisioning and application deployment using ARM templates and a GitHub Actions pipeline.
Multi-Cloud VM Deployment with Terraform
Authored a single Terraform configuration to provision identical Nginx web servers across both AWS and Azure simultaneously. Reduced manual setup time by 95% and enabled consistent environments for cross-cloud disaster recovery testing.
Secure & Reproducible IaC Templates for AWS & Azure
Developed parameterised templates for deploying hardened Linux VMs, standardizing builds and reducing provisioning errors. Cut VM deployment time from hours to under 10 minutes, facilitating peer review and GitOps workflows.
