I'm an aspired computer science undergraduate in NCKU, Taiwan, currently creating a few projects. I consider myself
to be fluent in English as a bilingual individual.
Interests
I'm interested in competitive programming, web development, hardware design and computer science
in general. I am also an avid voice acting amateur.
Certificates
GEPT stands for General English Proficiency Test(全民英檢).
APCS stands for Advanced Placement Computer Science(大學程式設計先修檢測).
Projects
RV32i_Imp
I learned a lot about algorithm, but I had never understood how a CPU worked. Since the best way
to learn something is by making it, I started to write a RISC-V 32bit CPU in verilog with the help from 伴伴學.
Take me there
temporal
With the help from Nanobyte's tutorials, I have been developing this kernel for some time.
It also comes with a Nix Flake, so you can put your worries about dependencies away.

boson-rust
I have been working on this project for a while. It is a simple ray tracing engine that can render
polygons. It is written in Rust from scratch.Take me there
iot_connect
It was meant as a tutorial project to teach people about embedded C++, but I made several versions of
it. Details in README.mdTake me there
nixos_dotfiles
This monolithic configuration is written for various programs in NixOS.Take me there
Timeline
Started my journey
I started my journey in the world of computers by learning Luau
(Roblox's Lua dialect) to make games on Roblox. During that time, I realized several programming paradigms
such as object-oriented programming and functional programming.
Introduced to C/C++
I was introduced to C and C++ during my first year of junior high school.
I learned the basics of C and C++ during that time.
After that, I started to learn more about C++ and started to make my own projects.
One of my projects was a simple render engine that I made using C++ and OpenGL.
Started learning Web Development
I started learning web development in the late 2018. I learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/Typescript during that time.
Started learning Python seriously
Since I was interested in machine learning, I started learning Python.
It was simple yet powerful when to comes to data analysis and machine learning.
Competitive Programming
I started competitive programming in 2020. I learned a handful of algorithms and data structures,
varying from basic concepts to advanced ones during that time.
Tinkering with Linux
I started playing around with Linux distros in 2020.
My first Linux distro was Ubuntu, then I moved to Manjaro Linux, and then to Arch Linux.
During that time, I learned a lot about Linux and how the operating system interacts with the kernel.
I also got into the world of Linux rice and started to customize my desktop environment.
Started learning IC Design
I started learning IC design in the early 2022.
Although quite difficult and drastically different from the other fields I've learned, I still enjoyed it.
I followed a self-teaching group on Discord and learned a lot about IC design during that time.
In the end, I made a simple RISC-V CPU using Verilog (Synthesized with Xilinx ).View on GitHub
NECC Excellence Award
I was awarded the National English Composition Contest (NECC全國作文比賽) Excellence Award in the mid 2021.
This award is given to the top ten of the participants in the contest, and I was one of them.
I wrote an essay about the importance of ethics in the 21st century which was published in the NECC book.
This shows my abilities in writing and critical thinking, including my abilities to express my ideas clearly and concisely in a foreign language.
Preparing for GSAT
I've been busy preparing for the General Scholastic Ability Test (GSAT) since 2022.
This test is a standardized test that is used to determine the eligibility of students to enter the top high schools in Taiwan.
I am currently studying for the test and I hope to get a good score.
Kernel in Assembly
With all the low-level knowledge and deep understanding of CPU architecture, I managed to create a
standalone kernel and bootloader in x86_64 assembly. It could handle simple I/O tasks and FAT data reading. The
final result opened vast possibilities for me to create a complete OS from scratch.View on Github
University Prep
With the end of GSAT comes a large period of free time before I head to university. I've been previewing
calculus, linear algebra and computer science out of sheer boredom on MIT Open Course Ware.
