Software Engineer / Ex-CTF Player

I am a software engineer at SiFive, in charge of developing compiler and C library for the RISC-V architecture. I received my B.S. degree from NTNU in 2018 and a M.S. in Computer Science from UCLA in 2022.

I have a broad interest in computer systems (especially binary translation techniques and modern computer architecture) as well as system-related security.

Thanks to extensive experience in cybersecurity competitions and research internships during my undergraduate and graduate studies, I have developed a strong foundation of the knowledge of program runtime behavior, problem solving and debugging skills.

Member of one of the top Taiwanese CTF(Capture the Flag) Team ⚔️TSJ⚔️ and the founding member of team 10sec.

Used to frequently attend CTF competitions, including playing at DEF CON CTF in representation of Taiwan, and was specialized in Pwnable and Reverse Engineering challenges. Now semi-retired but still actively involved in Taiwan's cybersecurity community. Here are some of my past CTF writeups.
