YOUR RESILIENT NEXT-DOOR ENGINEER

Hey! My name is Yohanes Edwin, but people just call me Ed. I'm a software engineer with - if I can say so myself - quite a few pretty good achievements. But no, the pretty good achievement I'm talking about is not just about how well I did back at National Dong Hwa University when I pursued my computer science master's degree. Although, yes, that's a part of it too.

I'm talking about how I became the CTO of the first instant website platform in Southeast Asia, Pekku.com. I contributed to making this website 4 times faster than ever, which directly reduced the server cost by about 10%. In my work at Pekku.com, I have consistently prioritized the delivery of projects with minimal bugs.

In my current position as a Senior Software Engineer at M2COMM, an IoT (Internet of Things) company based in Hsinchu, Taiwan, I manage an Internet of Things web application that serves as a middleman between hardware and the user (human). While working at M2COMM, I was able to improve the scalability of the web application I manage. This included increasing its capacity to support tens of thousands of tags, up from just thousands.

All of this, of course, did not come without a cost. My fixation on programming along the way demanded me to have something more - problem-solving skills, stress resistance, responsibility, and dedication. These are quite demanding skills in the work line of an engineer. It was rather difficult to have these four skills ready at the beginning, but I persisted and went on. Now? Be it stress resistance or dedication, all of them come in a package with Engineer Ed.

I might be a software engineer, but that's not all I am. Because hey, life has so much more to enjoy, right? When I'm not tinkering, I like to travel. I love getting a glimpse of some corners around the world or watching the world from the top of a mountain. I also like to exercise to keep myself fit. Not some heavy lifting, I'm afraid. Just some relaxing badminton games on the weekends.

Now that you know more or less about me, do you find what you are looking for? If not, my contact is wide open. Whether it's programming or travel talk, just hit me up!"
