What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over seven years of experience in backend and infrastructure development, primarily focused on optimizing production efficiency through digital transformation initiatives. At Vanguard Pai Lung, I led the development of the Smart Textile Automation Platform, where I implemented CI/CD pipeline optimizations and designed scalable microservices using modern technologies like C#, .NET 6, and Azure DevOps.

My expertise extends to building and maintaining REST and GraphQL APIs, migrating legacy systems to modern frameworks, and architecting modular microservices. I thrive in Agile environments, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality solutions. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive innovation and improve user experiences, as demonstrated by my successful projects that significantly enhanced application stability and user satisfaction.
