Welcome¶

I'm Jiaqi Guo, a software engineer and entrepreneur. Welcome to my digital workshop -- a space for my personal passions outside the corporate walls.

About this website¶

This website, www.cyclopsgroup.org, serves as a personal digital archive. It's a corner of the web where I gather random notes, articles, and projects I've worked on over the years. Approaching 50, I've realized that if these interesting moments are not written down, they will eventually slip away in time. It's not meticulously organized; think of it more like an old bookshelf filled with well-worn paperbacks and dusty notebooks.

The website is built with MKDocs in a public Github repository and hosted on Github Pages.

About me¶

Solving problems with computer programming has always been my passion, ever since the days of DOS and BASIC. I have worked on a wide range of projects at companies of varying sizes over the years, from tech giants such as Google and Amazon to early-stage startups. I have built software for many purposes, from small open-source tools to large-scale enterprise systems serving hundreds of millions of users. And yet, after more than twenty years in the field, computer science is more intriguing and exciting to me than ever. These days, I am starting a small financial company in The Woodlands, Texas.

Aside from software development and spending time with my wife and children, I also enjoy movies, music, painting, basketball, skating, cooking, reading, investing and more recently, carpentry. As I've grown older, these interests have become increasingly important to me, and I hope to devote a significant part of my life to exploring and enjoying them in the years ahead... except basketball due to age group limitation.
