About Me

I am a Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon with over 20 years of expertise in the technology industry, specializing in cloud infrastructure, information security, and enterprise-scale digital transformations. My career has spanned major sectors, including high-growth areas like Healthcare and Higher Education, where I have led strategic initiatives and architected complex, secure cloud environments.

My academic journey began at Peking University, where I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science, followed by an M.S. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Having successfully navigated the transition from a top-tier international academic background to a senior leadership position in the U.S. technology sector, I am passionate about helping the next generation of engineers and architects achieve similar success.

As a mentor, I can help you with:
- Navigating the U.S. Tech Market: Specialized guidance for international students and junior professionals bridging the gap between top-tier academic backgrounds and the rigorous expectations of major technology firms.
- Mastering Behavioral Interviews: Intensive coaching on the "STAR" method and internalizing core corporate leadership principles to excel in high-stakes interviews.
- System Design & Architecture: High-level strategic training to move beyond coding and master the architectural thinking required for senior-level roles.
- Bilingual Mentorship: I offer deep career strategy sessions in both English and Mandarin to ensure clarity and nuance in our discussions.
- Career Roadmap Planning: Designing a clear 1–2 year path to transition from university or a junior role into a successful career.

Throughout my career, I have maintained a deep commitment to mentorship, training team members on designing technical solutions that drive real-world business outcomes. Whether you are a student preparing for your first internship or a junior professional looking to level up to a senior role, I am here to provide the architectural insight and career strategy you need to succeed.
