Swift Brewer / Technology Pragmatist / Writter

I'm an iOS app brewer with 6 years in-house/freelance experience in various fields, such as healthcare and digital books. Thanks to the high diversity of the industry I've stayed, I have holistic iOS development knowledge from app architecture to low-level C implementation.

I'm also one of the writers of popular Swift publishers Flawless App Stories and AppCoda, constantly contribute my experience and experiment result to the community.
Recently, I'm co-organizing the Tokyo-based monthly technical meetup, Webhack. Every month we invite a professional sharing various frontier techniques. If you're a tech enthusiast, please feel free to join us!

I'm passionate about becoming a great engineer and a good product creator who desires to create products that people do need and love. My belief is that a revolutionary product can only be achieved by well-organized, well-leveraged, cohesive teamwork.

我是一位具有六年經驗的iOS工程師，在許多不同的專業領域，如醫療及電子書產業工作過。 對於app整體開發流程相當熟悉，能夠獨力完成完整的app開發，也能夠針對各種需求提出有效且高品質的解決方案。 我同時也是知名Swift內容發行者Flawless App Stories 跟 AppCoda的作者之一，持續在社群分享我的開發經驗跟技術實驗。 我的目標是要成為一個專注在創造完美使用者經驗的敏捷開發工程師。我的信念是只有良好組織、能充分發揮所長的團隊合作才能夠生產出最具革命性的產品。

最近我在東京與一群技術愛好者共同組織了一個技術分享的meetup：Webhack。每個月我們都會邀請一位專業領域的講者，分享各種技術。如果你也熱愛技術，歡迎加入我們的meetup！

Feel free to check my blogs, social network and Github projects!

Project

Here are some projects that I made, most of those are for knowledge sharing and some are for technique exploration.

Experimental Project

Swift
    SwiftScaffold: an architecture framework that framing the behavior/resposibility of archtectures that you created.
    NibSetup is a tiny code snippet helps you to instantiate the xib object without a hassle. 🔧
    SwiftGrabber: a commandline tool for you to download the server response to facilitate the unit test and greatly reduce the daily routine works. This project is done by pure Swift with the power of Swift Package Manager
    Brewer: A CI/CD example project built with fastlane and configured for Jenkins
    TheGreatWall: A newsfeed sample app (you know the "wall") shows you how to tackle a complicated tableview with the help of MVVM
Computer-assisted Language Learning
    Repeat: A single page app that help you learn English pronounciation rules base on the article. By learning the rules from articles, one may easily memrise the word-rule relations. This project is based on React.js and backend is provided by firebase. Test Account: demo@repeat.lang/12345678

Knowledge Sharing

English
中文 Chinese
Swift Language
Some of the Tutorials are shared on Github, aiming at help people who works as one-man team or who are in the intermediate level but have no idea how to do architecture, tests, CI/CD in the real-world projects.
