IT Manager · Columbia University Medical Center
I am an IT Manager at the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University Medical Center, where I support research, infrastructure, and secure computing environments across both Windows and Linux systems. My work focuses on building reliable server architectures, managing enterprise systems, and helping research teams translate complex technical needs into stable, scalable solutions.
With a background in medical informatics and enterprise IT, I regularly work with Linux servers, database systems, web application deployments, and cloud integrations. I enjoy solving infrastructure challenges — whether that means optimizing deployments, strengthening security practices, or designing systems that simply work better for the people who depend on them.
Beyond infrastructure, I am deeply interested in digital education and knowledge sharing. I design and develop online learning content, including structured classroom series that introduce students to servers, networking, and modern collaboration tools. I believe technology should be accessible, practical, and empowering — especially for learners who are just beginning their journey.
Outside of my professional IT role, I am also a storyteller and creator. I write wuxia fiction set in a shared original universe and develop narrative-driven projects that blend martial philosophy, strategy, and character growth. I also produce educational and cultural YouTube content exploring Chinese cuisine, culinary history, and cross-cultural food traditions. For me, storytelling and technology share a common foundation: clarity, structure, and thoughtful design.
At the core of everything I build — whether infrastructure, courses, or fictional worlds — is a commitment to craftsmanship, long-term thinking, and meaningful impact.
