Experience

Led the creation of a new product from scratch by selecting talented individuals from other teams and guiding them in learning GCP and k8s while establishing a new CI/CD mechanism.
Developed a cloud-native, distributed cron job system using Golang for the team's convenience. (GitHub - syhlion/gua: Support crontab style Schedule System implement by golang)
Designed a comprehensive alert system after the product went live, which sends warnings via Telegram and allows for bi-directional debugging to reduce engineers' on-call burden.
Analyzed online systems in real-time and provided engineers with proper instructions to troubleshoot issues.
Constantly evaluated new technologies for potential integration into the product to improve it.
Trained team members in statistical data analysis to support online data analysis for product maintenance and new development.
As part of a recent company merger, managed a team of nearly 20 individuals and integrated both new and legacy products while leveraging technology to reduce costs.

In response to the company's exclusive use of PHP at the time, which made it difficult to use WebSocket technology, I taught myself Golang and created a WebSocket server that can be used with any language through REST APIs (GitHub - syhlion/gusher: Pusher Implement server-side by go). The following year, I revamped it to a cluster version to comply with the trend of containerization (GitHub - syhlion/gusher.cluster: gusher plus version, support cluster). It is currently used by all products within the department, with a peak concurrent user count of up to 20,000 people.
I also assisted in rewriting some features of old products from PHP to Golang, resulting in a performance improvement of more than 10 times and a corresponding 10-fold reduction in machine costs.

Assisted the company in building a new gaming platform using C#.NET development and SQL Server.

At that time, the company's main development of MMO RPG games were all handled by other distributors for operation. However, the Taiwan team wanted to operate the games themselves, so they invited me to develop and plan the entire game platform from scratch.

Assisted the company in integrating various types of games into the company's gaming platform, allowing Taiwanese players to top up and play. Developed various event programs in collaboration with event planners.
