I love building things with programming and began to learn coding since about 20 years ago. In college, I accomplished more than 150,000 lines of code and took part in several projects in Microsoft. I am mainly using C# and able to use 20+ other languages/platforms to accomplish tasks, with experiences in GUI, database, web and mobile development. Currenly my interests are among parallel and distributed programming techniques such as Map-Reduce and OpenCL, especially their applications in multimedia and machine learning.
