About Me

• GitLab team member since 2022, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
• I speak Mandarin and English.
• I graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2014 with a combined major in Computer Science and Biology.
• In my free time, I enjoy watching sitcoms while baking treats and sipping bubble tea.
• I am a mother. Family always comes first in my priorities.

Professional Background

• My current role at GitLab is Senior Product Security Engineer. This is my team page.
• Looking forward, I aim to excel as an individual contributor while maintaining healthy boundaries between work and personal life.
• Ruby remains my programming language of choice for its elegant simplicity and clear readability.

Availability

• I'm available for sync communication from 10am to 5pm Pacific Time. Feel free to schedule sync calls through my calendar, which I keep updated.
• I embrace GitLab's flexible work philosophy and asynchronous communication, so I could be making contributions at any time of the day.

Communication Style and Preferences

• I am primarily an introvert, but I possess extroverted qualities that come out at times.
• Discussions: I prefer receiving a message first over Slack to schedule a dedicated call rather than unexpected discussions.
• Feedback: I value sync one-on-one conversations where we can discuss thoughts in real-time.
• Collaboration: I appreciate a balanced approach combining regular sync check-ins with asynchronous updates.

Workplace Philosophy

• I strive to foster an environment where authenticity thrives and everyone feels comfortable being themselves.
• I genuinely believe that cultural diversity enriches our team dynamic.
• I value meaningful collaboration and enjoy discussions ranging from technical innovations to life experiences.
• While I primarily work remotely, I find energy and inspiration in occasional co-working settings where idea exchange happens naturally.
