Featured Developmental Projects
Continuous Deployment and Integration through GithubCurrently in R&D
Orchestrating a continuous deployment and integration system for code modifications is a sophisticated task that demands substantial effort and proficiency in proprietary development.
Recognized as a distinguished leader in development operations, I have consistently found this challenge captivating and have persistently aimed to enhance existing procedures. With the universal acceptance of GitHub as the premier platform for monitoring code alterations and the accessibility of advanced features and tools, I embarked on a personal journey to investigate the potential of harnessing these resources to establish a comprehensive continuous deployment and integration system, even as a complimentary user. I successfully engineered and presently sustain a functional continuous deployment and integration system for one of my most active projects on GitHub
While further documentation and explanation will be provided in due course, I invite you to witness the system in action by visiting the following link,

Pin-Yin Annotator Tool for Chinese (Mandarin) Characters Web Application
FIRST RELEASED July 2023
A complimentary online text editor designed with the capability to append pin yin as annotated text to Chinese characters. This tool was born out of my personal struggle to locate an annotator that was user-friendly and harnessed the power of the most recent web technologies. Furthermore, I harbored the desire to facilitate the effortless exportation of these annotations into a broad spectrum of formats.
This tool is still in development and is free to use here.
Regrettably, to safeguard against misuse or potential plagiarism, and to prevent the commercial exploitation of this unique annotator tool – a tool that stands alone in its free availability and its utilization of the latest web technologies and frameworks such as React, NodeJS, Typescript, and SlateJS, among others – the source code has been withheld from public access.
Consequently, it remains private on my GitHub account.

Should you observe that the real-time monitoring of my coding activity appears to be exceptionally extensive, particularly for a full day’s display, please be aware that coding is more than a profession to me – it is a cherished hobby. I engage in coding during my leisure hours, much like others might enjoy a film or listen to music. I acknowledge that coding may not be a conventional form of relaxation, but it is one that brings me immense satisfaction. I appreciate your understanding in this matter.

In light of potential misapprehensions, I find it pertinent to also articulate that my leisurely pursuits extend beyond the stated activity of involving programmatic pursuits and thereby encompassing activities traditionally perceived as such, including but not limited to, an expressed appreciation for the arts of cinema and music.
