陳柏佑 (Owen Chen)

Senior Android Software Engineer
Although I majored in EE, I gradually realize that I prefer software programming, and especially emphasize the maintainability and scalability when developing large-scale project. Eager to learn new things: I studied Kotlin, Java 8 and some advanced Git commands just for interest in my spare time. Willing to study and share new techs with colleagues.
