Now

This page will showcase what I have been up to recently, inspired by nownownow.com, much like the kind of things you would share when meeting with an old friend after a long time.

Status (2024/04 ~ 2024/10)

  • Bought a house in Fukuoka, Japan
  • Started learning electric guitar (bought two Fender Telecasters and one FUJIGEN), hoping to form a band in Japan and perform at a Live House one day
  • Writing quantitative trading in Japanese stocks
  • Slacked off on fitness for a while
  • Working on my own side project
  • Considering transitioning my career from company-driven to independent development
  • Currently developing a project at the invitation of a former colleague

Reading (2024/07~)

  • Becoming my own life designer
  • 80000 hours
  • Die with Zero
  • The Bible of Winning at Life

Thinking (2024/09~)

  • Salary is a poison; regardless of job performance, your value is determined by the company (boss), not your true results. No matter how tired or hard it is, as long as you receive your salary each month, it feels like you can just keep going
  • My thoughts on life and work have changed a lot, shifting from a self-centered career perspective to seeking what contribution I can make to the world while also doing things that make me happy

Music, podcasts, and YouTube are all placed here

  • Monster Hunter Wilds: Ready to play next year!

Hi, I'm Kai. I'm Taiwanese and moved to Japan in 2019 for work. Currently settled in Fukuoka. In addition to being familiar with frontend development, I also have experience in IoT, app development, backend, and electronics. Recently, I started playing electric guitar! Feel free to contact me via email for consultations or collaborations or music! I hope to connect with more people through this blog.
