Introduction

Hi, I’m Wen. I’m a software engineer working on data engineering and large data systems.

I work on data platforms, including Spark, data lakehouses, real-time streaming, and data serving. I’m especially interested in distributed systems, Spark internals, and the infrastructure behind modern data and AI platforms.

I use this blog to write about what I’m learning at work and through my own programming projects.

More about Me

When I’m not debugging data platform issues, you’ll find me exploring new destinations 🗺️, hitting the slopes ⛷️, or pushing my limits in CrossFit training 💪. I thrive on challenges, whether I’m trying a harder ski run, pushing through a CrossFit workout, or working through a tough engineering problem.
