From 2019 to 2022, I worked as a Project Specialist and Software Engineer at General Resources Company (GRC), a professional engineering services firm in Taipei specializing in railway infrastructure across Asia. I supported major projects including the Taipei MRT system and the Hong Kong to Shenzhen railway line.

Key Contributions:

  • Bidding Automation: Built software tools that streamlined bid submissions across 150+ active contracts, improving efficiency and accuracy by 30%.
  • Technical Specifications: Defined specs for bid automation software, reducing submission errors and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
  • Cloud Infrastructure: Managed cloud resources on AWS and Google Cloud, supporting project data systems and internal tools.
  • Project Management Tools: Drove adoption of Jira, Confluence, and Asana across engineering teams, accelerating project completion timelines by 18%.
  • Fieldwork & Data Integration: Conducted site visits to gather project data and coordinate with on-site teams, contributing to a 25% increase in meeting project deadlines.
  • Capacity Planning: Forecasted labor, materials, and subcontractor requirements for construction bids across 150+ contracts.

Technical Stack:

Python, JavaScript, SQL, AWS, GCP, Docker, Git, Linux, Jira, Confluence, Asana.

Outcome:

GRC merged with MitAc during the pandemic. I relocated to the Bay Area, taking with me deep experience in automation, infrastructure projects, and applying software engineering to solve real-world operational problems at scale.
