I believe technology should be both powerful and approachable – which is why I combine Computer Science and Communications at Northwestern. My academic journey also includes the Segal Design Certificate, Integrated Marketing Certificate from the Medill School of Journalism, and a Legal Studies minor – all driven by my love of learning and mission to make complex tech feel a little less intimidating and a lot more accessible.

This commitment to accessibility has deep personal roots. Witnessing my grandmother struggle with hearing loss showed me how technology can hurt instead of help. The assistive devices meant to support her independence were often frustratingly complex, causing her to lose her temper and creating a painful distance between us. This experience taught me that poorly designed technology doesn't just inconvenience users–it can damage relationships and erode trust. These moments fundamentally shaped my design philosophy: accessibility isn't a feature; it's a responsibility.

As CTO of a startup and an active contract developer, I translate technical challenges into human-friendly solutions. My work ranges from developing an AI healthcare application, now used by Taiwan's largest hospital system, to teaching machine learning to undergraduates and organising Northwestern’s largest hackathon.

When I'm not coding or designing user experiences, you'll find me exploring furniture design, baking, or capturing moments through my Canon Autoboy SII. These creative pursuits remind me that whether it's a line of code or a UI design, there's always a way to make it more intuitive and accessible for everyone.
