About Me
I am a visionary Technology Executive, weaving over 15 years of expertise into the fabric of innovation and strategic leadership. At the helm of Qinship's technological frontier as CTO, I not only orchestrates the engineering orchestra but I also chart the course for future tech voyages. My toolkit is adorned with the jewels of modern software craftsmanship – Kubernetes, Docker, ReactJS, Angular, to name a few, showcasing my adeptness at navigating the ever-evolving tech landscape.
Beyond the digital realms, I don a red suit, embodying the spirit of joy as a Professional Santa Claus each winter, bringing smiles and laughter to all. Whether it's reveling in the pages of a new book, embracing the wilderness with my family, or delving into solo adventures — like my 113-day camping expedition during the 2020 COVID pandemic — my zest for life transcends the conventional. A dungeon master at heart, my passion for Dungeons and Dragons, 3D printing, and the magical universe of Magic, mirrors my professional creativity, blending fantasy with reality. With two energetic sons and an artistically gifted wife, my world is a vibrant tapestry of technology, adventure, and family.
