ABOUT

I've had 4 years of experiences setting up automation testing and test framework in my early stage of career. I wrote thousands of test cases, 5 types of frameworks so that HTC many products can be run stabilize and high performance in different user behavior. 

After getting more involved in project management and product development, I got to learn more about recruiting as well as facilitating team.

Thru the start-up experience and NGO project, I want to get my hands dirty in the coding side of thing as well as pick up the latest software development paradigm.
