Work Experience

• 2014-2016 : Research Assistant and Laboratory Coordinator
• Being research assistant to shepherd young leaders and their projects. Providing specific suggestions on resource estimation and project exection to help young leaders making thoughtful decisions. Coordinating human resource arrangement to ensure each project optimized and each Master student in lab. being occupied.
• Summerizing correlated projects, progress delay and cause analysis to PI.
• Organizing poster competition in DBSE Lab. The poster competition encourages laboratory memebers to propose ideas and build POC to inspire the DBSE group. There are two poster competition ever been held.


• 2015 : Teacher Assistant of System Analysis and Design Course
• Being TA to lead 13 students analyzing 4 distinct online services: EzTable, OrangeGame, Tainan E-Bus, and GitHub. The students are also requested to propose improvement plans of these services. The analysis includes market study, business model recovery, service inspection, architecture recovery, and maintenance plan. And students can therefore systematically construct improvement plans based on these analytical results.


• 2014 : Teacher Assistant of Advanced SE Course and App Constellation Project
• Being TA to lead 36 students studying and performing mobile software enginering practices. This is semester project of advanced SE course.
• The project aims to gather, analyze, and organize various mobile App information in the user perspective. The analytic results are used to allocate Apps in users' life scenarios. Further, we can help users to explore more needed Apps by discovering missing App pieces in life scenarios.
• In the end of semester, all 36 students finished their analysis and design of their own Apps. Among them, 30 students sucessfully build Apps for demonstration, and 5 of them even put Apps on Google market for public download.
