Ziv Hsu
I have been a program developer for almost two decades. During the period, I participated in the project development of various types of games and web backends, and have rich practical experience in program development, games, and backend related technologies.
I used to be in charge of technical supervisor positions for nearly ten years. Although management wasn't my major, I am more humble about learning how to be a good manager, so I have also gained a lot of experience in management-related affairs.
