Welcome! I am a software engineer and have been working on distributed storage systems professionally. During my spare time, I enjoy venturing my own endeavor into recreational algorithmic challenges and many avenues in mathematics.

Prior to my professional career, I was at Shanghai Jiaotong University and obtained my bachelor's degree in Computer Science at the University of Michigan.
