What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a challenging remote role where I can apply competition-grade engineering discipline to impactful software.

I built an automated data pipeline for my Gold Market Data Panel, integrating public sources including BLS, CME FedWatch, SPDR, and WGC to produce bilingual structured fact panels. I added incremental scraping and date-based archiving in Python, and use LLM-assisted extraction with manual verification to keep figures and sources traceable.

At Shanghai Dianzhong, I led front-end development for 100+ commercial projects for clients including 3M, GM, and Honeywell, taking projects from requirements through deployment and maintenance. My work has also included first-place TopCoder challenge solutions for the U.S. FAA and Canada Port Authority, and a full-stack Baby Meal Tracker prototype that I developed independently.
