- Worked with cross-functional stakeholders and led a team of 3 engineers across China and US, developing and executing a strategy to transparently migrate heavy read endpoints from the legacy access control authorization platform to a newly built platform; resulting in an expedited release schedule of 4 weeks.- Developed data-plane and control-plane APIs as part of a service-mesh microservice approach to serve millions of requests per day from internal users and services for permission checks. - Designed and implemented a gatekeeper within the authorization service to control the release and rollout of features; this was a key request from stakeholders and customers like TikTok, Douyin and Lark, whose services were more sensitive to changes.

- Delivered a real-time notification microservice informing users of transaction record changes as well as real-time comments using GCP's Cloud Run and PubSub.- Led a release of a platform feature which made use of Google's PubSub to improve response times for an endpoint by 72%. Additionally this eliminated all P0 incidents related to emails.- Developed a peer feedback process for fellow engineers to use as part of a performance review cycle, and worked with the leadership team to develop a career matrix for engineers.

- In charge of developing a content management system for a client’s marketing website; developed using C# and ASP.NET to produce scalable, clean and efficient code.- Developed an internal development tool that allows the distribution of Testflight applications to clients for field testing purposes.

I was in charge of the handling of the payments as well as the production and distribution of the software to the end clients, which were mainly students from all over Beijing during my years at Dulwich College Beijing.I found that during my stay in Beijing that the internet was rather restricted and many of the sites that my friends and myself visit were blocked very often and as a result we had to purchase VPNs that were expensive and were also hard to access. And as such I came out with the idea of a VPN that would be easy for the students to purchase and for those who may not have a credit card.

During my time at ParseHub I implemented a microservice in Docker that operates on a daily basis, checking payments on Stripe as well as handling the automated downgrading and upgrading of services with 100% test coverage using PhantomJS and Selenium. Increasing revenue by keeping track of late unpaid payments and sending out reminders as well as reducing workload on the support team. In addition to developing the microservice, I also developed an algorithm that utilizes heuristics of a web page; increasing success rates of web scraping projects as well as reducing the overall runtime by 60%.
