My Career Journey

Welcome!👋! I’ve marked down my career journey as a software engineer, inspired by the idea of The Ph.D. Grind: A Ph.D. Student Memoir 

The software engineer journey is a pursuit of craftsmanship  spirit. Software engineers normally read more, grind more technologies and then use less and elegant code in work.

Computer programming is ultimately an form of art, that was the great insight from Donald Knuth , who even wrote a book to emphasize this point: The Art of Computer Programming .
