About
Curiosity first. Systems, meaning, and everything in between.
I'm Sêng-Gān — a Taiwanese writer, thinker, and maker living between languages and cultures.
I studied philosophy at National Taiwan University, where I spent years thinking about how we construct meaning, how arguments hold together, and why the questions we ask shape the answers we find. That training never really left me — it shows up in how I write, how I debug systems, and how I approach problems that don't have clean answers.
I speak Taiwanese, Mandarin, English, and Japanese. Moving between languages has taught me that translation is never just about words — it's about the structures underneath. The same idea can feel completely different depending on the frame you put around it.
Outside of work, I'm drawn to anime, manga, and storytelling that takes its audience seriously. I write about the things I watch and read — not reviews exactly, but attempts to understand why certain stories stay with you. Attack on Titan, identity, war, moral ambiguity — that kind of territory.
I also care about education, civic life, and the small ways that clear thinking can make a difference. I've written about military service, language policy, gender, and what it means to love a complicated place like Taiwan.
This site is a personal space. It's where I collect the writing, creative work, and ideas that don't fit neatly into a professional box. If you're looking for my engineering portfolio — certifications, work history, technical projects — that lives on a separate site.
