About

I'm a Senior Analyst at SumProduct, where I build financial models, automate workflows, and turn complex data into clear visuals for clients across infrastructure, energy, real estate, and government.

What I enjoy most is finding the engineering in finance — writing VBA tools that save hours of manual work, designing formulas that replace entire processes, and building dashboards that tell a story at a glance. I've published 30+ tools and articles on Excel, VBA, and Power BI.

I hold a Master of Finance from the University of Adelaide (GPA 6.375/7) and a Bachelor of International Finance from I-Shou University, Taiwan (GPA 4.0/4, Top 5%). When I'm not in a spreadsheet, I'm exploring how AI can make consulting workflows faster and more consistent.
