20 Years of R&D Leadership

I am a results-oriented Director of Software and Firmware with over 20 years of experience in the technology industry. Throughout my career, I have specialized in building and scaling multidisciplinary engineering teams from “Zero to One.”

Currently, I serve as the Director of Software and Firmware at Ubiquiti Inc., where I manage an organization of 250+ professionals spanning BSP, Firmware, Cloud, AI, and Mobile Applications.

My Journey

  • Ubiquiti Inc.: 14 years of growth, leading technical milestones across the UniFi ecosystem, including the development of an end-to-end AI Closed-Loop Architecture (Data → Data Labeling → Model Training → AIOps → AIQA → Edge Devices).
  • Robert Bosch: Team Leader for surveillance camera software and system architecture.
  • Dynacolor: Deputy Manager, coordinating product lifecycles for complex security solutions.

More than an Engineer

As an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), I am committed to building a leadership culture grounded in trust and driven by empowerment. I don’t aim to be the smartest person in the room — I aim to make every team the autonomous owner of its own domain. I deliberately replace directives with coaching conversations, and micromanagement with minimal intervention, allowing engineers to grow through ownership. At the same time, I champion a Fabric-style matrix culture that enables cross-functional teams (AI, Firmware, Cloud, QA, Mobile) to connect laterally, share knowledge and capabilities, and generate collective impact that breaks down the Silo Effect.

All in AI: A Hands-On Philosophy

After two decades of navigating and leading through various technological shifts, I have chosen to fully embrace the AI revolution—not just as a strategic manager, but as an active builder. I firmly believe in being “hands-on and getting my hands dirty.” To truly leverage AI, one must build with it directly. My approach is to dive deep into the technology, write code, experiment relentlessly, and continuously learn. This hands-on mindset ensures that my leadership strategies remain grounded in technical reality, allowing me to fully grasp AI’s potential and practical limitations.

The AI Core Development Division I lead has built a complete closed-loop architecture—from data collection, labeling, and model training, through AIOps and AIQA, to Camera and AI Key hardware delivery—forming a self-reinforcing AI flywheel that continuously accelerates capability and product impact.

Future Horizons

Looking ahead, my passion lies at the intersection of emerging technologies and meaningful, real-world impact. My core areas of interest for future endeavors include:

  • Artificial Intelligence & Robotics
  • Embedded Systems
  • Blockchain Technology
  • Cyber-Physical Systems (虛實整合)
  • Applications that drive positive impact and contribute to human society
