I go by C0ldSmi1e or Daniel Yu. (Yes, that's a zero and a one in there — I'm pretentious binary-friendly.)
Caffeine-powered code wizard with Cantonese roots. (My ancestors perfected dim sum, I perfect algorithms.)
Currently building AI stuff that hopefully won't take over the world and crypto things that might actually pay for my coffee addiction. Americano is life.
When supposedly taking a break, I'm either competitive programming (furiously typing on a keyboard while glaring at screens and whispering "edge case!"), investing (contemplating how the world works to glimpse the future, not just day-trading like a caffeinated squirrel), swimming (achieving perfect human-fish harmony), cooking (channeling my Cantonese heritage into dishes that taste better than they look), or strumming my guitar (still working on that fourth chord).
Devoted fan of Leo Messi, Max Verstappen, Stephen Curry, Liverpool, Golden State Warriors, Barcelona, Red Bull, and more.

Just released a simple NextJS example for JWT authentication.
Found an incredible coffee shop in Berkeley. What a place!
Here’s my todo list for this site: 1. Build the articles and projects sections. 2. Build the admin dashboard. 3. Build a vim-native online version typora editor, integrate it to the admin and open source it. 4. Open source a login flow.
This is my space. The thoughts section is a place to store my fragmented and random thoughts, the articles tab is essentially my blog to markdown my deep thinking, and the project is a gallery for the stuff I built.
