Ex-big-tech infra engineer, now an indie dev with ski/climbing/swim instructor certs.
📍 Beijing · 🛠️ Building tools I actually use, with AI · ⛷️🧗🏊 Ski / climbing / swim instructor & lifeguard
At a leading tech company I built the industry's first in-house Swift compilation cache (cut build times by 50%, served 71% of all company builds) and an LLVM-based iOS privacy-scanning toolchain, with 4 patents. Now I ship my own tools.
