Hi, I’m Yi-Chun — a multidisciplinary builder working at the intersection of design, engineering, and product thinking.

My journey began in textile and surface design, where I developed a deep sensitivity to structure, systems, and how people experience products in physical space. Over time, I became increasingly curious about how digital systems are defined, built, and scaled — not just how they look, but how they function and create value. That curiosity led me to transition into software engineering, where I gained hands-on experience building full-stack applications and collaborating across teams to ship real products.

Beyond implementation, I’m interested in how problems are framed, how trade-offs are evaluated, and how user needs translate into technical decisions. My background allows me to approach digital systems holistically — balancing aesthetics, usability, architecture, and long-term impact.

Currently pursuing a Master of Science in Information Management with a focus on AI, I’m exploring how emerging technologies and intelligent systems influence product strategy and organizational decision-making.

I’m drawn to complexity — and to building clarity within it.
