What I'm looking for

I’m looking for freelance, fully remote engagements with flexible hours across time zones.

I founded Weipai (微拍), one of China's first short-video apps, and led its product vision, roadmap, and releases from concept to market. I designed its backend services and media pipelines for video upload and playback, and led development of the native iOS and Android clients.

Since 2018, I’ve founded a live-streaming platform and other ventures, owning product direction, architecture, and real-time streaming features end to end. I also deliver freelance consulting from requirements and architecture through implementation, release, and maintenance.

My work spans native iOS and Android apps, Flutter and Dart apps, and Node.js and Python REST APIs. Earlier, I built interactive e-book products and internal tools, developed backend systems for an insurance company, and worked on Adobe Flex applications.
