ABOUT ME

Currently, I am an IT Engineer working in a Healthcare Tech company named Go Forward Inc. in the Bay Area. Our mission is to bring healthcare to billions of people for free. This aligns with my personal goal which I would love to dedicate my knowledge and passion specially in the foster care domain where I could take care of elder people and assist them in need.

Who am I?

Why did I choose to study abroad?
How did I end up pursuing what I beleive in?
What makes me myself?

I was born and raised in Taichung, Taiwan. My parents are open-minded. They want my brother and I to do what we love and love what we do. I considered myself as a CS person back in the day while I won several programming competitions in high school. Also, I won the world robotics contest in grade 10. This is why I chose to study abroad to the states diving into Computer Science. Not until my application being rejected by CS department 5 times, I started to think of what I truly love. Thus, I transferred from the University of Washington at Seattle to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Information Sciences is a combination of computer science, statistics, mathematics, social science and communication. Another chapter in my life is about social media. I enjoy being a content creator on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Medium, Podcasts and etc. I love the feelings when people like, comment, and share my posts. I remember the time one of my videos went viral, over 600k views were accumulated over a night. I was amazed by how powerful social media and the Internet could be.

Social Media

I enjoy creating a variety of contents, including vlogs about my life, personal experience sharings, jokes, tours. Every once in a while, I would collect background statistics from social media to analyze my performance. For example, KPIs like average views, average likes, retention rates, audience ages, and etc. Most of the time, I export the data into csv files, cleanse the data in excel/R, then create summary table in R. My last step would export the cleaned files into Taleau to create data visualizations.
