introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have always been fascinated by “black boxes” – why does a machine respond when a button is pressed? Why does a program run when instructions are input? These seemingly unattainable underlying logics once made me both curious and awed. It wasn’t until Year 10 when I first encountered Computer Science that I realized: these “black boxes” are not unapproachable magic, but logical systems that can be understood and created. From then on, I transformed from an outsider to a creator.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

project1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

WordPlayer began as a terminal vocabulary tool, but when my teacher suggested creating a web interface, I rebuilt it as a full-stack platform (wordplayer.top). I collaborated with art students on the UI design, learning to bridge technical implementation with user experience considerations.<\/p>\n

\n\n<\/p>\n

The most significant challenge emerged when users requested public folder sharing. Directly copying data would create massive redundancy, but using references required protecting publisher permissions. I redesigned the database schema with normalized reference tables, prioritizing maintainability over query performance.<\/p>\n

\n\n<\/p>\n

Interestingly, I implemented this design before formally studying database theory in my CS course. When I later learned normalization principles, I realized my intuitive approach aligned with established theory\u2014it showed me that sound engineering often emerges from first principles thinking rather than memorized patterns.<\/p>\n

\n\n<\/p>\n

The refactoring required restructuring nearly half the codebase, teaching me that architecture must evolve with requirements. Deploying to production\u2014configuring DNS, SSL, and reverse proxy\u2014transformed theoretical networking knowledge into practical understanding.<\/p>\n

\n\n<\/p>\n

This project demonstrated that software engineering involves continuous trade-offs and designing systems that can grow.<\/p>\n\n\n

project2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(AI suggest me write something about hardware, i do have the project. but it is hard, so i haven’t have a big result on it. And AI suggest me write about the bug i made and the debug process, but i think my bug is so stupid, some simple grammar mistake)<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

project3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

I want to live in a world where robotic companions are as common as smartphones, where the boundary between human and machine is something we choose to redraw. Mechanical tail, sixth finger, third arm – humanity redefined.<\/p>\n

\n\n<\/p>\n

My projects so far haven’t directly touched human augmentation or embodied robotics. But they’ve taught me how to learn fast, build from scratch, and iterate until something works. I’ve talked with students who are already on this path, building tools for their own needs. I want to join them to find collaborators who take ambitious ideas seriously, and to earn my place in the work that matters to me.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
