I'm passionate about tackling problems by empowering people with tools. Through coding and design, I help people to solve their problems efficiently with a new perspective.

Now, I lead Pelith, a web3 tech solutions startup, and have a DeFi ecosystem, Hakka Finance, providing the most efficient DeFi product to achieve inclusive finance.

I was a tech lead at the R&D venture studio of Scalable Inc, a US-based tech startup company with over $100 Million in revenue per year. I led a small team to build new e-commerce products from scratch and monetize them quickly.  Previously, I was dApps Full Stack Developer at ThunderCore and had contributed to Remix IDE, one of the famous open-source projects in the Ethereum community. 

I am also the co-founder of Cofacts, the most prominent open-source tech fact-checking platform in APAC, helping people fact-check over 200M+ suspicious messages per year. We got lots of media reports and got speech invitations to Google News Lab, Rights conf, Southeast Asian Press Alliance…
