chao-dotcom/README.md

I’m currently pursuing a Master of Computer Science at Rice University, and I previously graduated from National Taiwan University.

Lately, I’ve also been writing docs for 30DaysOfWebDev — in preparation for my 2026 iTHelp Ironman Challenge run. They’re basically my 2026 entries, currently in pre-alpha.

I’ve worked at Advantech and QuantaVision as an Application Engineer and SWE Intern — where I learned to become a versatile engineer, building 0→1 things that are nearly impossible to measure but incredibly satisfying to create.
I love that messy, unquantifiable 0→1 phase — testing ideas, breaking things, fixing them, and calling it “playing around.”

Currently

  • Grinding LeetCode (and occasionally LeetCrying) or
  • Working on a repo that will definitely work after one more commit or
  • Paddling in the pool pretending I’m a seal discovering recursion or
  • Lying on my bed, spinning existentially like a hamster on a wheel

Portfolio

My Portfolio Website is a few commits behind my GitHub repo,
but it features a beautiful cover photo taken at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt in NYC.

Note

If you see a mysterious collaborator named ch218-collab — that’s also me.
She has nobly sacrificed her bio to eternally prove our shared identity.
