Hong Kong SAR / Materials Engineer
I’m a materials engineer based in Hong Kong, currently working on wearable products at Shokz. My work sits at the intersection of material behavior, product stability, and the small engineering decisions that shape everyday experience.
I care most about making materials decisions that hold up in real use — not only in a report, but in comfort, durability, manufacturability, and cost.
Profile
I use this site to share the parts of my work that can be discussed openly: how I think about materials, how I make trade-offs, and what real product use keeps teaching me.
The case pages stay high-level, but the thinking behind them is real.
Featured work
I keep this set selective on purpose: one cost case, one stability case, and one characterization case. Together they show how I approach materials decisions without turning the site into a task list.
A cost case about requirement framing, trade-offs, and keeping the cheaper option honest.
View case
A stability case about body context, repetition, pressure over duration, and what users notice in real use.
View case
A characterization case about reducing uncertainty instead of producing isolated reports.

Snapshot
My recent work has centered on coating systems, wearable device stability, material handling, and characterization. I’m most interested in the moment when a small material difference becomes a product decision.
Shokz / Permanent / Hong Kong SAR / On-site
I work on wearable materials, product stability, materials development, and coating-related engineering decisions.
Shokz / Internship / Hong Kong SAR / On-site
My internship was where wearable materials work became real to me. I moved from classroom knowledge into material handling, characterization, and day-to-day engineering decisions.
Field note
One of the most useful product observations I made recently did not come from a lab bench. It came from my first half marathon, where fit, comfort, awareness, and fatigue all became impossible to fake.
Substack
I use Substack for writing that is a little slower, looser, and more personal than the notes on this site.

一到周末，都会睡到十点多，看见窗外线条分明的光线，这是我每周最幸福的时刻。从六月底到圣诞周，我渐渐经历了社会角色的转变，回头翻相册，总想给自己一个阶段性的记录，不如就从冬至这天动笔好了。…
馬力斯，三號風球，和婷婷在中環晚餐，看到商城指示牌提示氣象站公告時，突然想起去年九月來港入學時，掛的是十號風球。 來香港讀碩士這一年，像是在不確定中找到確定的人和事，一定會在大學站落車，一定會在創博館和同學一起趕作業，一定會在高錕樓接受導師的指教，我每次到CU，出地鐵站，站定幾秒鐘，從山底慢慢望到雲層，鱗次櫛比，又靜又豐，心曠神怡。…
年末，寒潮涌过南岭，飞去北京探亲，在飞机上俯瞰华北平原，非黑即白，点点黑是个个聚落，除了黑，就是雪白。到大兴机场，暖气逼人，落地窗外地勤在给飞机除雪，人们兢兢业业，如今工作难找，不敢懈怠。…

I’m happy to talk about wearable devices, materials development, and the engineering decisions that shape real product experience.
