A Peek Into My Brain

Duke/DKU Class of 2029Founder of SolTechnology & Design Enthusiast
I created this website as a structured brain dump to share what I think about, what I build, what I'm interested in, and the technical background that has influenced it, and vice versa.

Space Is The Final Frontier
Space is the final frontier of exploration. Like Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a Russian rocket scientist once said, "Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot live in a cradle forever." The sun's expansion and Earth being engulfed by it is inevitable. Even if that never happens, some other catastrophic event is bound to happen at some po...

What I Care About
Current Direction
Since I was 9 in 2016, I’ve developed and released free-use computer software and explored many areas of technology and design, including high and low-level programming, computer architecture, product design, architectural design, spacecraft design, and website user experience.
I plan to achieve my mission by deepening my knowledge at university and studying the subjects I care about, preparing for my journey ahead with Sol, my technology and design company.
As Figment from Disney once sang in “One Little Spark,” one little spark of imagination can ignite a world of infinite possibilities.
Right Now
Living in China
I'm currently living in China, observing, admiring, and learning from China's rapid technological development combined with its unique cultural characteristics. I'm also pursuing an undergraduate degree at Duke Kunshan University.
I hope to use the knowledge I gain here along with my global perspective to make a positive impact on the world, through my work and by sharing what I learn with others.
