ABOUT SIDI

I BUILD THE PART BETWEEN "GOOD IDEA" AND "IT'S LIVE."

I'm Sidi, a software engineer with experience across iOS, macOS, web applications, backend systems, AI products, and automation. I started with Apple-platform development and gradually expanded into full product delivery—architecture, frontend, backend, deployment, AI integration, and the less glamorous work required to make a system reliable.

Based in Shenzhen, China

PERSONAL NOTES

Away from code, I'm usually watching anime, playing games, experimenting with hardware, or building something that began as "this should be easy."
