I'm a trader living in Hong Kong, and a curious builder at heart.
For the past couple of years I've traded crypto HFT at Ampersan and Auros, focused on liquidity provision, market making, and DeFi. Before trading, I trained in computer science and worked in software engineering and data science — building things and making work easier with technology. That was mostly what I did at Societe Generale and Microsoft.
I love learning, and picking up new tools and technologies. Lately I've been spending more time on LLMs and agents, having fun vibe coding — including the very site you're looking at.
In my free time I enjoy brewing tea, shooting street photography, and staying active. I love reading and writing, too. Writing is new for me — I built this site to record more of my thoughts, and I'm working on getting better at it.

About this page
This site is one of my vibe-coding projects, Claude did a lot of the heavy lifting.
Mostly I'm building it as my digital logbook, and it doesn't really stick to any fixed theme. From philosophy essays to photography to shower thoughts, it really is the wild west. And it'll keep growing.
Thanks for visiting, and I'd love to connect. Reach me through any of the links above.
