Welcome!
Discuss about this website here.

(Been busy these days, will update the website soon!)

Used to work on a variety of personal projects (mostly software), nowadays I focus on my full-time job as Investment Analyst at OTPP, plus a secret side-project!😉

If you are talented or resourceful and looking for inspiration, consult my business ideas.

Main Projects🌉

There are a few things that I've always wanted to work on but never had a chance to fully materialize: Airi, MULTITUDE, Deep Dive, Parcel, and Formless. Thankfully, OpenAI invented ChatGPT, I discovered Markdown-based workflow, Expresso replaced Parcel and Pure replaced Formless.

 >> WIP: Highlights of "Work-in-progress"
 >> Codename: The Matrix: Galactical scale entity simulation and render engine
 >> Pure: A C# based scripting environment
 >> (Archived) Node Editor: 3D first-person walkable node editing environment
 >> (Archived) SIS MULTITUDE: Experimental windows desktop environment (WPF) and with inspirational agency
 >> (Archived) Somewhere: Tag-based desktop file/content/note management file system
 >> (Archived) Parcel: Node-based process automation environment

Project Ideas (Invite for Collaboration)

As mentioned above and as a summary, here are some projects that I am genuinely interested in, and everyone is welcome to collaborate with me. Notice those projects tends to have a non-deteremined production timeline because I cannot spare dedicated time working on them. Also by no means that I will accept collaboration proposal blindly for I don't have time for casual engagements. At the moment, my entire focus is either on work at OTPP, or Project Nine.

🌌Portal - Organization 9: Reports

Changelog📑

  • 2018: Historical website at Wayback Machine.
  • 202208: (#Technical) We used to have a 20Mb payload from Airi - it took a while to make the repo clean. In the future anything this huge should deserve its own repo.
  • 20220820: (Backend) Update and clean up setup; (Content) Add draft blog 20220820.
  • 20220821: (Website) Update front page. (Content) Migrate some articles from old personal portfolio websites.
  • 20220822: (Front Page) Add "Feature" section. (Content) Draft page for "The Matrix" project; Add draft section for "Dev Log".
  • 20221209: We used to treat the repo as a file host of compiled html files and kept source code seperately. This creates additional buld process and seperated source and result files. The reality is, we really don't care about the compiled HTMLs ourselves so we should just let Jekyll do its job.
  • 20221210: (Article) Create placeholder for Knowledge Markdown.
  • 20230702: (Appearance) Change theme.
  • 20230801: (Appearance) Update front page; Clean up and visual formatting.
  • 20230823: (Organization) Add section on "Favorite Articles"
  • 20231013: (Feature, Interaction) Integrate Giscus. (Remark) Will stop updating this for trivialities. Viewers are welcome to read commit history for more details.
