Industrial engineer and founder of Ideambox in Taipei. Twenty years taking physical products from sketch to mass production — automotive and aeronautical — and, more recently, building the software around them.
Before Ideambox: Chief Engineer at Great Wall Motors (Baoding), Advanced Engineering Manager at Ficosa (Michigan) and Engineering Supervisor at Ficosa (Taicang), on shift-by-wire and command-and-control programs for Volvo, Toyota, GM, Ford, Nissan, Geely, GWM and Qoros. Earlier, aircraft assembly and structural simulation at MTorres under Airbus and Boeing supervision.

Most of my work lives in private repositories — client hardware under NDA, and products where the code isn't the deliverable. What's public is the products themselves: every link above leads to something you can actually use.
