Started from junior high school, working on projects is like bread that I do almost everyday. Projects not only a way to practice technical skills but also a nice way to expose myself to unfamiliar fields. The following are the main projects I’ve worked recent years.
- Minimal OS on RPI3+
- Spy Penguin
- User Research - CakeResume
- Meichu Official Website
- WordPress Theme Development Guide
- A Point-of-Interset CMS
- A Simple CRM
Minimal OS on RPI3+ (Course Project) (2020)
- Why: To learn how to develop a operating system. (Course Project of Operating System Design and Implementation)
- How: I developed a minimal operating system kernel on Raspberry PI 3+ (ARMv8 architecture). The components includes a minimal C library, a bootloader to load the kernel from computer, exception and interrupt handling, multitasking environment, and virtual memory. (The image demostrates the multitasking environment, which generates multiple processes.)
- Outcome: Understood the foundation of operating system, and got a feeling of system development.
- Technologies: C, QEMU, ARM specifications.
Spy Penguin (Course Project) (2019)
- Why: Motivated by “Spy Penguin” video from PTS, we want to remake the penguin in the course project of Embedded System Design and Implementation class.
- How: Collaborated with friends from the Mechnical Engineering department, we build a spy penguin with three wheels. The spy penguin was able to track the green egg and move accordingly. (Github)
- Outcome: Unexpectedly scored the highest in the term project. Also it is very fun!
- Technologies: ROS, Python, paper and stickers.
User Research - CakeResume (2018)
- Why: To understand the framework of User Experience by performing a complete analysis of a Resume Builder website - CakeResume. (Course project of User Experience and Usability Evaluation)
- How: Collaborated with four classmates, we conducted analysis on CakeResume via six research methods. The methods include interaction map, user research, comparative analysis, survey, heuristics evaluation, and usability testing.
- Outcome: The result was reported to CakeResume as a reference to refine the product.
Meichu Official Website (2017/2018/2020/2021)
- Why: To provide NCTU & NTHU students a comprenhesive information of Meichu Game.
- How: In this website, I cooperated with the organizer of Meichu Game to organize contest-related information. Since Meichu Games holds 10+ sports competition, a Facebook page is not enough to provide clear information. Therefore, An website and an admin panel were built. The organizer can keep the website updated via the admin panel. (Link)
- Outcome: Many users can find detailed information via the website. It has generated 26k+ pageviews per year (2017/2018/2020/2021).
- Technologies: Vue.js, Flask, MySQL.
WordPress Theme Development Guide (2013)
- Why: Creating themes for websites is fun. Good theme helps people to show their personality and make content easy-to-read. The e-book is for those who’d like to start their first WordPress theme.
- How: In this project, I wrote tutorials of developing WordPress themes and organized them into an e-book. This e-book explain the most useful components in WordPress theme development, as a total of 70+ pages. This was one of few WordPress themeing resources written in Chinese. (Notice: this e-book is outdated.)
- Outcome: This e-book was introduced and recommended by famous bloggers. (Link)
- Technologies: PHP
A Point-of-Interset CMS (2019) (Freelance)
- Why: To provide detailed travel information via a point-based content.
- How: I developed the front-site, admin panel, and the API endpoints of the CMS. Collaborated with an designer crafting the mockup. Also, I conducted search engine optimization including structural data and complete meta data. I used Docker to deploy the services.
- Outcome: The CMS was adopt by a media client.
- Technologies: Nuxt.js, Flask, Docker, Redis, MySQL.
A Simple CRM (2016) (Freelance)
- Why: To enhance the sale process of one of my clients via a lightweight custom relationship website.
- How: In this project, I independently developed a lightweight CRM web app via Flask and Vue.js. The web app includes the most essential components of a CRM: account, contact, leads, opportunity, and sales reports. It also integrated Mailchimp to handle email marketing.
- Outcome: Enable the client to organize sales-related documents.
- Technologies: Vue.js, Flask, MySQL.
