Hi, I'm

Zixiang.

Software Engineer

Happiest when I'm building something. I love writing code that solves real problems, exploring new tech, and occasionally shipping something that makes someone go "oh, that's neat."

About

A bit about me

I'm currently an Engineering Manager at GovTech Singapore, where I get to work on things that (hopefully) make people's lives a bit easier.

I've been building software for as long as I can remember, and I still find it genuinely exciting. New problem? Great. New tech to learn? Even better. The best days are when something clicks and you ship something that just works.

Outside of work, I'm usually tinkering on side projects — some useful, some not, all fun. A few of those are below.

The obsession started early — building my first PC, setting up a home network, tinkering with a NAS and home server. Some things never change.
