Things I've made trying to leave my dent in the universe.

I've worked on tons of projects from little to complex ones over the years but these are the ones that I'm most proud of. I work on projects merely based on 3 criteria: they have to be fun, they have to be challenging, and they have to be impactful, to me, to people I love or to the society.

Founding Employee/Cloud Architect/Product Engineer/Engineering Manager

Meshy AI is the successor-in-spirit of Taitopia Render Platform. The cofounders started this project to create a platform for people to create 3D models from text or images -- after the team realized that the first step of rendering is not even cloud-native renderers but how to democratize the creation of 3D models. I was lucky to be part of the inital efforts on building the full-stack system, the serving infrastructure and product iterations.

Taitopia Render Platform is a really ambitious project that I started in 2021. It aims to provide a Cloud Native (SaaS) platform for people to create ray-tracing based photo-realistic artifacts such as animations or images from 3D scenes in a web browser, without having to purchase expensive hardware or software.
