Turning the real needs of teams into systems that keep running.

I'm a certified full-stack developer with 9+ years of experience, and my work spans software engineering and business operations. I started running my own Minecraft servers in elementary school, and on February 16, 2018 I joined EaseCation, a Minecraft mini-game community, where I built its first web services outside the game. I went on to found the company behind EaseCation and lead its operations, turning a student group into a company with three branches, $400,000 in annual revenue, 100K+ daily active players and a team of about 200.

In Canada, I study Honours Computer Science at McMaster University with a 3.93 GPA. I work as a Full Stack Engineer at Resiliocs Intelligence and a Process Optimization Analyst at McMaster, and I run Junxuan Bao Solutions Inc., which delivered $80,000 CAD in contracts within its first five months. Moving from hands-on development to running a company has taught me to understand a team's needs from both the technical and the business side.
