BTSE

Trading, commissions, and conversion

I found and reported three high-severity defects through boundary testing and financial checks. The case records my methods and what remained unresolved.

Read BTSE case

ASML / Zealogics

Automation planning and team leadership

I led six engineers and planned the workflow within the existing TestComplete architecture. The team implemented most of the code; connection failures still required manual investigation.

Trend Micro

Customer troubleshooting and product improvement

My work covered reproducing incidents, diagnosing causes, validating hotfixes, and improving proactive tests and diagnostic guides. These two cases cover the different parts.

Quality where failure has consequences

My experience spans crypto exchange testing, security incident investigation, and test automation.

2024

Nogle (BTSE)

Senior QA Engineer · centralized crypto exchange

Tested Wallet, Referral and Affiliate, Spot, Futures, Convert, fees, funding, liquidation, and KYC on BTSE's centralized crypto exchange. Identified and escalated three high-severity defects across trading, referral commission, and conversion flows.

2023–2024

Zealogics, for ASML

Project Leader / Senior Automation Test Engineer

Led six Automation Engineers across three ASML HMI modules. Designed the setup-to-reset lifecycle within the existing TestComplete architecture so the normal workflow could run unattended. Planned reusable modules and technical handover; the engineers completed most implementation coding.

2010–2023

Trend Micro

QA Engineer → Senior Customer Service Engineer → Senior QA / Customer Service Engineer

As SEG Leader, I checked escalation evidence and assigned cases by priority, complexity, and workload. I initiated a DLP diagnostic guide; manager-reported figures showed a 20-percentage-point drop in missing-data case returns in its first month. I also built Python monitoring for Chrome updates and proposed a supported-site scanning design to reduce resource use. Received internal SEG awards in 2019 and 2021.

Systems I build

I build tools around real constraints: traceable data, explicit guardrails, and workflows another person can verify.

CEX Market Data Quality Lab

Python / pytest · REST and WebSocket testing

Tests public market-data snapshots and updates for stale events, sequence gaps, and invalid order-book values. Includes test design, executable checks, and versioned results. Uses Binance public APIs; separate from my employment at BTSE.

Public market data only. No account, order, or funds testing. Live results apply to the recorded revision and date.

QA Decision Desk

Open dashboard ↗ · Source ↗

Portfolio demonstration. Check each record's scope, revision, and freshness before interpreting its status.

A dashboard for reviewing test results and evidence

A passing result needs a tested version, a clear scope, and supporting evidence.

Consolidates test evidence from two repositories into traceable release decisions. Each row shows the decision, rationale, and evidence link. The dashboard keeps freshness, Unknown states, Gate Flow, and sanitized public boundaries explicit.

Human Design reading generator, a personal AI-tooling project

A personal project that presents Human Design readings as a visual report.

Uses birth details to calculate a chart and generate a 13-section visual report. Each section starts with a plain-language explanation, with terminology available in expandable sections.

Codex Skill Dashboard

Searchable capability map for my Codex setup

A Skill is only useful if I can find it when the task appears.

Generates a searchable inventory from effective Codex Skills, grouped by category, source, and trigger keywords. Disabled Skills stay out, so installed files are not confused with active capabilities.

Job-search co-pilot for the Taiwan market

This project compares job requirements with resume content to prepare tailored drafts.

Parses job postings, compares them with a resume, and exports PDFs. It includes ATS compatibility checks and limits on inferred keywords. Generated content still needs review.

Forked from an open-source project. My contributions: PDF export, ATS compatibility checks, resume-parsing guards, keyword-inference limits.
