My Work

Mobility, Security, and Information are the three keywords I think will drive the changes for everyone's daily life in 10 years. Those who can help people see how they could live their life differently will lead the era.

I've been thinking, reading and intrigued by technologies centering around these, enterprise or normal users.

	Dealocus.com A deal consolidation website I helped building. We buy a lot of gadgets and electronics and we always wait for the best timing (i.e. deals). Thus we build it for you and for ourselves.
	Venn Search Interface A search interface which utilizes Venn diagram to visualize complicated search options This is a functional prototype I built for a CMU class I built this using Java involving RMI, Java2D, and Swing
	hisTree A concept to address the common problems with Web surfing - long list of outdated bookmarks and meaningless histories. the idea I had for web surfing history management.
	Information Browser A navigable visualization of Java class relationship using Java reflection This was my final project of Software Architecture of User Interface. Built by a Java-based UI toolkit - SubArctic. Utilizing a fish-eye view, drilling-down-when-needed for information browsing.
	Bibliography Agent Some information cannot be searched just by one data source. This is a framework of multiple agents' trying to locate the abstract and/or full text of a thesis / paper based on partial bibliographical information of a paper or thesis. A final project of "Intelligent Agents" elected class in NTU CSIE. Involved agents communication (very simplified KQML), thus they don't have to be on the same platform or on the same machine. They can be easily replaced and updateded. A paper was writen by Jane Yung-jen Hsu. (PDF, PS)
	FTP/HTTP/TELNET Proxy A program I wrote in 1998 mainly to Use as a hack for some sites which only accepts certain IPs Get better network bandwidth. (Once upon a time, the bandwidth between US and TW's academic network was limited. I could actually get a 10x-20x bandwidth by hosting my Proxy on Hinet. FYI, Hinet has discontinued the shell access) I played with socket programming, Linux thread managements and learned about the infamous FTP protocol.
	US Graduate School Application Tip () My personal experiences in puisuiting graduate study. (writen in Chinese)

My Resume

I have been driven by passion of building useful technologies and creating the next sucessful company. Contact me if you have got the kind of opportunities. I have broad experience mainly in 3 fields.

• Embedded Systems - Network, Security, Wireless. Building an embedded system from ground up along with the development / build / test environment.
• Network Management Systems - Scalable, supportable, client-server or service-oriented-architecture based device management system.
• Services that change people's way of doing things - My passion has been building things that change people's way of living. I've been following what Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have done and I've been spending my spare time on projects such as "alumniConnect".

Interested Research

I'm interested in knowing how things could be done differently, in a better way or worse.

• Human-Computer Interaction

We've seen lots of flaw in software interface design. People starts to work on it and asking "what is a good interface? For what kind of audiences?" From Command Line to GUI, from awkward devices to keyboard and mouse. What will be the next? Thus we believe that understanding of human, technology, and reality will help.

• Agents (Software Agents / Intelligent Agents)

A personal assistant with learning ability, who you can delegate jobs to. e.g. An email agent which helps you classify emails, brings you important emails, and reminds you events.

• Machine Learning, Information Extraction

A well-established yet challenging field in which we try to "construct computer programs that automatically improve with experience."
