Cofounder, Web Design & Development - On Dream / 2007
"On Dream" is an experimental site launched in February 2007. It's a simple community for visitors to share their dreams under moderation. When a dream is shared, the submitter may also navigate to other dreams with similar elements like flying, drowning or meeting a relative who has already passed away. People are encouraged to illustrate their own dreams, or upload a short audio clip to tell the dreams. However, the interpretation of the dreams is not encouraged.

Cofounder, Web Design & Development - '06 World Cup Brick Site / 2006
The '06 World Cup Brick Site was alive for only one single month during the World Cup '06, yet it acquired attention of over 100 thousand unique visitors. This site was designed to let people criticize (curse) a football team/player, a disappointing game, or a nasty news event during the game. The supporters of a team/player could defend on the very same spot. A list of top ten unwelcome team/player was published after the game ended.
The site was closed several weeks after the '06 World Cup Game.
Built as an affiliate site to Netease(http://www.163.com)
Technology: ASP.NET, MS SQL Server, (x)html, css, javascript, GDI+

Software - Rule-based file conversion engine / 2006
The engine provides a unified rule schema to define conversion rules for various structured data formats.

So far the engine fulfilled full coverage over existing formats and is now evolving for better extensibility and flexibility.
This is a working project at SAP Labs China.
