From space plasma to the production line

I'm a software engineer with over a decade of experience shipping systems where software meets hardware — machine vision, optical measurement, laser welding automation, and enterprise security software.

My work tends to live at the hard edge of a problem: diagnosing why an industrial laser measurement system drifts on the factory floor, aligning cameras across a steel production line, or hardening security software deployed to thousands of corporate devices. I care about systems that survive contact with the real world and pass acceptance tests.

I hold a Master's in Computer Science & Information Engineering and a Master's in Space Science from National Central University — a background that started in space plasma research and grew into building precise, reliable engineering software.

Where I've built things

A track record across machine vision, industrial automation, and cybersecurity software.

Software Engineer· MetgaugePart-timeFeb 2026 — Present
  • Led end-to-end development of an industrial laser measurement system — diagnosing and resolving production-line root causes (calibration drift, cross-camera misalignment, watchdog restart loops) that reduced measurement error from >20 mm to <1.5 mm.
  • Delivered turnkey dimensional measurement systems across 3 steel production lines (12 cameras total), passing Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) for enterprise steel manufacturing clients.
  • Built large-scale metal measurement via vision inspection, hardware monitoring & control, and multi-computer data integration.
