Summary

Firstly, I'm very skilled at what I do, familiar with the workflow of sonic production, managed a company mainly aimed for film scoring until our positioning shown unideal for the western composers we worked with. I also have a solid knowledge base for traditional composition like harmony, instrumentation, orchestration, and modern approach like sound design, synthesizer and mixing techniques. The software I use typically are Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Sibelius and Protools.

I love gaming, especially for Riot and Blizzard Game, I played League of Legends since 2010 on and off. before the Tencent Chinese server, by the time I did much works to translate and introducing the game in multiple Chinese online platforms, I can still see my footstep in today's League, because of many champions' name and skillsets was translated by me first. Til this day gaming is the go-to way for me to connect with my brothers and some of the friends, so it would be a dream come true for me to work at Riot.

Lastly, I also very technology & metaphysic minded, I was a member of Mensa China before it went down, I also studied other fields like neuro-science, philosophy and so on. For the early parts of my life, I often feel like the most intelligent person in the room, as I matured I try to be the most disciplined and hard-working, from work to gaming, as well as at the gym since weightlifting is also a huge passion of mine.
