Route log · Ningbo to Sydney

The route behind the work

I am a software engineer and technical writer shaped by two cities, a computer science education, and a preference for systems that explain themselves.

Journey log

Four points that shaped how I build and communicate.

ROUTE-01

Origin

Ningbo, China

A coastal starting point

I grew up in Ningbo, where curiosity about technology and visual design became a habit of taking things apart and rebuilding them clearly.

ROUTE-02

Age 15+

Sydney, Australia

Learning across cultures

Moving to Sydney at 15 changed how I communicate and collaborate. It taught me to make assumptions visible and explain technical ideas without hiding behind jargon.

ROUTE-03

B. Computer Science

UNSW · Sydney

Computer science, with distinction

At UNSW I built foundations in algorithms, networks, data, systems, and product development, completing the degree with Distinction.

ROUTE-04

Now

Engineering practice

Building systems people can trust

My current work centres on recoverable agents, permission boundaries, long-term memory, backend reliability, and interfaces that make complex systems understandable.
