About
Cloud infrastructure & observability.
Senior DevOps & SRE engineer based in Shanghai, with 8+ years building and running cloud infrastructure at scale. Started as a Java developer, ended up in platform engineering — and never looked back.
Multi-cloud (GCP, Alibaba Cloud, AWS), Kubernetes, Istio, GitOps. I've built DevOps platforms for 100+ developer orgs, wired up observability stacks from scratch, and written the tooling that runs the infrastructure. This site is where those thoughts land.
Beyond the Terminal
I study divination seriously — not as superstition, but as structured systems for reasoning about time, change, and probability. Three rooted in Chinese metaphysics (玄学 xuánxué), one Western:
King Wen I Ching divination. Six moving lines cast from coins or yarrow, read as a dynamic system of relationships between Heaven, Earth, and the ten stems.
Purple Star Astrology. A natal chart of twelve palaces (宫 gōng), each governed by stars (星曜 xīngyào) that map cycles across a lifetime.
Four Pillars of Destiny. Eight characters — year, month, day, hour — each a Heavenly Stem (天干 tiāngān) and Earthly Branch (地支 dìzhī) pair, encoding elemental composition and its shifts over time.
Western archetype divination. 78 cards — 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor — drawn and laid as a spread, read as a mirror of the present moment and its probable trajectories. Recently built lunarcana around this practice.
