Welcome to my website. I'm Enson, from Shanghai, China, now living in Metro Vancouver, Canada. I am studying at Simon Fraser University, the School of Interactive Arts and Technology.

My areas of specialization include Graphic Design, UI/UX Design, Multimedia Production, Game Design, and Software Development. Aerial photography and photography in general are my passions and skills. I specialize in utilizing older equipment combined with post-processing techniques to produce results comparable to those of modern devices. The 2010 Sony NEX-5C, given to me by my father years ago, has accompanied me on my travels around the world.

My hobbies include Photography, Video Production, Travelling, Guitar, Hi-Fi Audio (approached from both scientific and subjective perspectives), and Home Lab. I am particularly interested in IT. I run a Proxmox VE instance on a Dell PowerEdge R430 server located in my home in Shanghai, which has been operating reliably for years, hosting various self-hosted services such as the local DNS server, reverse proxy instances, and several Docker containers.

Welcome to my blog to get a glimpse into my world.

Music Preference

I am an audiophile, used to be obsessed with audiophile equipment, but now I mainly enjoy the songs themselves. My listening preferences are extensive, from Charlie Puth to Chopin, modern POP / ACG to Japanese City Pop in the 1990s. There is no genre that I particularly reject, but I recognize the melody that I fall in love with at first glance. Many of my favorite songs are not well-known. Therefore, occasionally, I will share my favorite songs recently on this page, sharing with those who have similar music preferences to me.
