GitoDo empowers users to create multiple main repositories for diverse tasks, enabling seamless collaboration within study groups or shared objectives. This project earned accolades for its novelty and design. My multifaceted role spanned UI/UX design, front-end development, conflict resolution, and leadership.

Competitions

Domestic

2022 TSMC x Microsoft CareerHack Competition

1st Runner Up (Against 40+ teams from Taiwan)

January 2022 · Taiwan

I participated in the CareerHack, a hackathon jointly hosted by TSMC and Microsoft Taiwan, where the challenge was to harness machine learning and MLOps for energy-efficient data center management. Leading a team of four, my role was pivotal as we focused on optimizing data center cooling for eco-friendly computing. Our innovative concept involved leveraging the natural cool sea currents of the Taiwan Strait in conjunction with Azure Cloud Computing. We designed a system that used water pumping to facilitate heat exchange between the sea's chilly waters and the heat-intensive liquids in the data center, all while dynamically controlling the process with MLOps. We rigorously tested our hypotheses through simulations, demonstrating the feasibility of our approach and our commitment to sustainable data center solutions.

General Education Class

Oil Painting

July 2022 - June 2023 · Taipei, Taiwan

This course was designed to sharpen my aesthetic sensibilities and deepen my understanding of design principles. Focused on the fundamentals of sketching, the class introduced me to the intricacies of color analysis in oil painting. While oil painting and UI/UX design may seem disparate, this experience bridged the gap between them. Armed with knowledge in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), I began to recognize connections between website design and the principles of color, composition, and aesthetics I had learned. This newfound synergy allowed me to approach UI/UX design holistically, emphasizing the importance of aesthetics in user experience. As the course progressed, I applied the analytical skills I developed in oil painting to dissect compositions and layouts, aligning with the principles of composition analysis. This skill became a valuable asset in designing visually harmonious and user-centric interfaces.
