About Me

My name is Andy Huang. I am a M. Sc. Candidate at School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University, in British Columbia, Canada. Due to my ethnic background, and interest in languages, I am capable of communicating in English, Chinese (various understanding levels of Mandarin, Taiwanese, and Cantonese), and Japanese (Self assessed at certification JLPT level 3, attempting JLPT level 2 when schools are done); as well as capable of reading very basic French, and German.

I am madly addicted to technology, software development, and internet. As such, I spend most of my day in front of my laptop, surfing the internet, and developing small personal projects. I am a former vBulletin Developer. vBulletin is developed utilizing PHP and MySQL technology, and was the leading online discussion board software. My main duties were overall usability, advertisement, and content search; I also contributed translation, as well as search algorithm optimization for the Chinese version of the software. 

For entertainment, I enjoy playing games on my Nintendo DS Lite, listening to music (primarily trance, jpop, classical), and watching TV (LOST, Heroes and Japanese Anime). My DVD and related music disc collection is suffice to make my bookshelf collapse, as such, they sit in stacks near my shelve.

In my spare time, I work on iPhone / iPod Touch developments. One of my previous project benefits users who have Jailbroken their device by speeding up their Installer application's performance speed. Details of the project, and the project itself, can be found on http://www.touchtoolset.com/repo.sc
