After the internship programme I was employed as a full time staff at ProjectX Technology Ltd. My responsibilities are mainly focus on web application development by using Ruby on Rails and database design.

I often use this blog as a testing platform for new techniques and ideas, especially when it comes to HTML5+CSS3, SEO and SMO integration. I sometimes write about the results of these experiments both here on my blog and elsewhere.
What do I want to do in the future?
I hope to do something what I can continually develop my skills in internet industry. I want to be constantly innovating and creating new things… I want to build a most popular overseas Chinese website in the world.
