你好, I’m Andi.

I work with software systems and cloud infrastructure. My background spans backend engineering, cloud architecture, and engineering leadership.

Over the past few years, I’ve spent most of my time thinking about how systems grow, where they break, and why seemingly small technical decisions tend to become expensive later.

Background

I started in engineering with a strong technical foundation, then gradually moved into roles where I reviewed systems, led teams, and helped make architectural decisions.

Working across different teams and environments taught me that most technical problems are not caused by lack of technology, but by misaligned assumptions, unclear ownership, and premature complexity.

Skills & experience (overview)

My background sits at the intersection of backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and system design. I’ve worked across both technical delivery and technical leadership roles.

  • Cloud & Infrastructure: GCP, AWS, Docker
  • System design: Event-driven systems, OAuth2 / OpenID Connect, high-concurrency architectures
  • Cost & reliability: FinOps, autoscaling, infrastructure right-sizing
  • Backend: Go (primary), Python, JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Data: PostgreSQL, Firestore, Redis
  • Business systems: CRM, workflow automation, system integrations

Outside of work

Outside of professional work, I spend time on things that help me stay balanced and curious:

  • CrossFit: I've been doing CrossFit for now after switching from 7 years of conventional gym weightlifting
  • Reading books: I enjoy a variety of genres
  • Watching animations: I love watching animations from Anime (I love One Piece, Dragon Ball, Frieren), Donghua, and many more
  • Traveling: Exploring new places, meeting new people, trying new foods, and experiencing different cultures
  • Eating: I can eat anything but I can't eat strong smelly foods like durian LOL
