TL;DR

chill · tinkerer · lifelong learner · challenger · stack-agnostic developer · home cook · introverted chatterbox · casual gamer 🌈 🇨🇦

I am

• Lokiwager, born in Northeast China and now based in Canada 🌈.
• Used to be a game architecture expert at NetEase , leading a team of several dozen engineers during a high-growth phase of my career. At that peak, I chose to leave.
• Joined MegaEase as a partner . Not long after, the company faced major turbulence and was close to breaking apart. After that chapter, I chose to immigrate to Canada.

I like

• Coding and cooking, because I enjoy building things. Software and dinner both count.
• Reading, because quiet time matters.
• Tidy systems and solid plans, because they keep me calm and focused.
• Nintendo games, because my reflexes are not exactly eSports-ready.
• Open source, because I believe it makes the world better.
• Running, because it keeps me healthy and happy.

• Everyone gets to live the life they want and be happy doing it
