Hi! I’m Antony, or @tony9527167 on the internet. I build things, mostly software, and occasionally ideas that turn into long-term projects
I enjoy writing about web service architecture, system evolution, technical debt, and how real-world software stays alive over time. I’m also interested in games and interactive systems, because they reveal a lot about human behavior, complexity, and design — just like large-scale software does.
I believe in building sustainable, self-funded products rather than chasing hype, and in designing systems that people can rely on for years.
I previously worked at
HUYA (NASDAQ: HUYA),
JOYY(YY) (NASDAQ: YY), and
Wondershare Technology (SHE: 300624),
where I built and operated backend and platform systems serving millions of users.
Today, I work with a software consulting company, providing independent software and architecture consulting:
- Designing and scaling full-stack platforms (browser extensions, web, and mobile) for products with tens of millions of users
- Building monitoring and alerting systems for PB-scale data
- Helping Chinese startups go global, covering technology, compliance, and cross-border infrastructure
This blog is where I share what I learn from building systems, playing games, and navigating life in a technical world.
