Own Work

AI marketing platform, 30k+ users

An agentic social media marketing platform — an operating system for the next generation of digital creators. I co-founded it and lead engineering as CTO. Where it stands:

• Grew to 30k+ users and roughly US$200k in annual recurring revenue.
• Drove 20k+ signups and US$50k in revenue within the first 100 days, partnering with 60+ influencers.
• Secured compute credits from NVIDIA, GCP, and Y Combinator, and a place in the NVIDIA Inception programme.
• Signed our first listed-company enterprise client.

Careers platform, NT$1.2M secured

A careers platform bridging employers and early-career job seekers in Taiwan. I co-founded it and led engineering, building the search, forum, and identity systems end to end. What it went on to do:

• Secured NT$1.2 million in backing from Taiwan's Ministry of Education and Hotai Motor, plus US$40k+ in pre-seed funding.
• Won startup competitions and earned press coverage across multiple outlets.
• Onboarded B2B employer users and grew to 500+ signups and 100+ user posts within 3 months.

200+ in waitlist in 3 weeks

Taiwanese people don't use Glassdoor, and there's no good alternative. I found nowhere to share and view job reviews. I tried hard on marketing and idea validation. In the first few weeks:

• Posts about this platform got 200k+ views on Threads, and 100+ comments saying they need this.
• Gained 200+ in waitlist, and compiled 100+ company reviews, with consistent growth since then.
• Compiled and indexed 580k+ company entries in Taiwan.

Right now, I am working to market and expand it, trying to hit the network effect sweet spot.

EdTech Startup, 20k+ users

An educational non-profit dedicated to making online resources more accessible.

• We enable students to search 20+ educational platforms in a unified interface.
• We launched an online-resource initiative that produced 150+ qualitied contents chapters.

Zetria has generated 1.3M+ visits; received 1.2k+ crowdsourced contributions; and have been featured in multiple mainstream media outlets. We also helped teachers deliver contents online during the pandemic.

Finance Forum, 10k+ members

A discussion and social platform for one of Taiwan's largest finance communities. The platform handled 6k+ registrations within 24 hours of launch with 0 downtime. Users can post questions, share insights, and share files with each other. It is built on Cloudflare's infrastructure and uses identity verification and 2FA with SMS and LINE messages.

AI, RAG, Image Recognition

“Who's that guy with blue hair working in edu-tech I met in NYC? He had a black business card.”

• Co-led a team of 7, discussed with VC's and mentors.
• Set up Go API servers, Python ML servers, MongoDB, and Next JS & iOS clients.
• Built fuzzy-search algorithms with OpenAI tokenizer and vector databases, enabling search through vague description of contact traits.

A volunteer organization with a tailored online LMS, serving underserved communities. We achieved the following:

• Built an online LMS to match students and volunteers, keep student profiles, and deliver pre-class notifications.
• Enabled 3000+ hours of tutoring since launching.
• Saw more than 120 volunteers working in the same batch to help underserved students over the pandemic.
