I have a proven track record of optimizing deployment processes and enhancing cross-team integration, which has significantly improved operational efficiency in my previous roles.

Throughout my career, I have held key positions at leading companies such as Tesla and Li Auto, where I spearheaded the development of innovative DevOps solutions tailored to meet complex project requirements.
