Hello, I'm John Lu, a Chinese American who embarked on a journey to the US in 2015 for my second Master's degree from Central Michigan University. Since 2020, I've delved into various ventures, including real estate investment, digital property creation, digital marketing, online retail, small business funding, and website investment. However, I soon realized the inherent risks involved and yearned for stability and alignment with my values.Embracing a career in software development has allowed me to pursue continuous learning opportunities while leveraging my strengths. I firmly believe in creating impactful work that combines expertise with the responsibility of making a positive difference.My passion for technology truly flourished during my time at Central Michigan University, where I was captivated by a research project on healthcare devices, sparking my focus on the convergence of healthcare and technology.Joining the Parallon Business Performance Group (BPG) Testing Services team as a technical resident in a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) role has seamlessly combined my passion for healthcare technology, business revenue cycle, and advocating for high-quality software solutions through close collaboration with Agile teams from the entire stages of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).This career transition has been a fulfilling journey, enabling me to align my professional aspirations with my values and contribute to the development of innovative solutions that improve human life.Beyond professional pursuits, I find joy in board games, reading, gardening, and spending time with loved ones. Let's connect to explore how technology can shape a better future!
