Who am I?

I'm Martin. I'm a software engineer located Taiwan. Specialized at building high performanmce sofware, AI deployment and messing with Linux. Now getting to OpenBSD and privacy releated software development. Here's a few technology I use daily:

Do send me a message if you want to know more about me or have any questions. I'm always happy to talk about anything. I'm avaliable over email (marty1885 \at protonmail) or GNU Jami (Link to my QR code).

Major Open Source Projects

drogon

Drogon is an production ready, extremely fast C++ web application framework. I'm a maintainer, wrote the coroutine subsystem, various bug fixes and joins community development. I have developed commerical product using it. Drogon easily handles C10K on an embedded system and C100K on a standard server.

Etaler

Etaler is a high performance implementation of Hierarchical Temporal Memory, a biologically inspired machine learning model developed by Numenta. At the time of release, Etaler is more than 20x faster than the community developed HTM.core on CPU and another 2x faster on a GPU.

embree-arm

embree-arm is the world's first functional port on Intel's Embree ray tracing kernels for ARM processors. Though not maintained. This project inspired the embree-aarch64 project (using the same porting approach) to provide up-to-date ray tracing kernels for ARM.

Conference talks

At this point I'm on an biyearly schedule of giving talks at public conferences. For random topics I feel I've done enough research into and is confident at the time. Was a speaker at SITCON (Student's Information Technology Conference) and now at COSCUP (Conference for Open Source Coders, Users, and Promoters).

SITCON 2016

I love games but why movies look so much better - An introduction to computer graphics and ray tracing.

SITCON 2018
