About Me

I am a British-Chinese-American Software Engineer in Norton Antivirus and Tesla (future changing automobile/energy company). I am passionate about changing the future and making the world a better place.

I currently hold 3 passports from 3 continents and speak 3 languages fluently.

I lived in Osaka, Japan for 6 months, and I almost died there for getting a heatstroke.
