I am a Security Engineer who shifts things left.

I value pragmatism, creativity, versatility and kindness.

• the professional version: My LinkedIn profile
• the back story: I started my first job in IT project management (non-technical track). On my first day of work I was given a Ubuntu workstation. And the only Linux Sysadmin in the company was leaving. I took over his job temporarily, but stayed in the profession since I enjoy fixing problems with the Terminal + Google combo.

I was born in the outskirt of (Changchun), where I frolicked in the corn fields as a child, then moved to the concrete jungle when school started. I moved to my 2nd hometown (Singapore) in 2002, back when GST was 3% and there were 2 MRT lines. Other than the libraries (with free AC), I enjoyed spending time in the West Coast Park and the East Coast Park, and wondered about the other side of the ocean. I moved to my 3rd hometown (the SF Bay) in 2015. Settled down with my family here. My favorite food are Pho and Bahn Mi, which offer a taste of Southeast Asia away from Souteast Asia. And I enjoy exploring 'exotic' grocery stores.
