Model the real workflow.
Good domain boundaries come from understanding decisions, handoffs, and failure modes, not from drawing boxes first.
About Michael
Engineer across layers, partner across teams.
I am a Shenzhen-based full-stack engineer with 15+ years of experience turning complex operational needs into software teams can understand, ship, and maintain.
My approach
Start with the system people actually use.
I work comfortably across product discovery, frontend interfaces, backend domains, databases, and cloud infrastructure. That range matters most when a problem crosses ownership boundaries.
My strongest work happens inside long-running systems: SaaS and B2B platforms, modernization programs, operational workflows, and products where reliability and changeability both matter.
I prefer explicit tradeoffs, small reversible steps, and architecture that makes the next feature easier rather than merely surviving the current one.
Working principles
How I make engineering decisions.
Keep the next move reversible.
Incremental migration, measurable rollout, and clear rollback paths reduce both technical and organizational risk.
Optimize for understanding.
Maintainability is the speed at which the next engineer can build a correct mental model and change it confidently.
Experience
Fifteen years, one expanding field of view.
Platform architecture and technical leadership
Leading full-stack delivery for investment, healthcare, and B2B operations platforms with Python, PHP, React, and AWS.
Product systems and open-source foundations
Building reusable frontend systems, production admin foundations, and the Vue Material Admin project adopted across the community.
Full-stack web applications
Delivering custom operational software, content platforms, integrations, and early SaaS products across the complete web stack.
Current toolkit
Technologies I reach for today.
Tools change. The selection criteria stay consistent: team fit, operational clarity, and long-term cost.
