What I'm doing now
Co-founder and CTO at TREKX, owning system architecture and the technical roadmap: a multi-tenant B2B SaaS for travel agencies (FastAPI + Next.js, with an LLM importer that parses Word itineraries into structured plans), and ChillOut, an AI travel-planning app published on the iOS App Store.
Alongside that, research at NYCU on an RL-driven Active Directory honeypot, mapping ~1,000 PowerShell command signatures to MITRE ATT&CK across 14 tactics. Graduating June 2027 and looking for new-grad software engineering roles.
