About Me

From a Small Village to a Big World

My story began in a small village near Luoyang, China—a city famous for its ancient Longmen Grottoes and beautiful peonies. In 1998, I traded my hometown for the bright lights of Singapore, where I studied, built my career, and eventually made my home.

I've always been curious about the world, both real and imaginary. When I'm not exploring new technologies, you'll find me buried in a good book, enjoying anime, watching science fiction movies, or pondering life's big questions.

Travel is my favorite way to keep that curiosity alive. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the breathtaking Swiss Alps, from European castles to Middle Eastern deserts, I've explored more than 20 countries across five continents. I love discovering how people live, admiring architecture, getting lost in nature, and, of course, tasting local food. Every journey brings a new perspective—and occasionally, a few unexpected adventures!

My greatest adventure, though, is closer to home. I'm happily married and a proud father of two boys—one navigating university life and the other preparing for junior college. Watching them grow is both rewarding and a reminder that time flies faster than technology evolves!

My life philosophy? Stay curious, keep learning, explore the world, enjoy the little things, and never lose your sense of wonder. After all, life is one big adventure—and I'm still collecting stories!

From Turning Valves to Transforming the World with AI 

I started my career turning valves in a refinery. Twenty-five years later, I’m turning ideas into reality through AI, cloud, and digital transformation. From factory floors to enterprise boardrooms, I connect technology with business value, solve complex puzzles, and build teams. My passion? Making complicated things work beautifully—and intelligently.
