Who I am
Hello, my name is Xu Hui Liang, my English name is Chris, and I’m thrilled to share my journey of growth and development over the past 20 years. Beginning my career in the data center industry from 2004 to 2012, I honed my technical skills in server sales and technical support, laying a solid foundation for my future endeavors. From 2012 to 2015, I worked with international technology companies, addressing complex challenges and offering innovative solutions. My next chapter, from 2015 to 2019, involved collaborations with Option-Design & Communication and smallWORLD, where I provided technical solutions, built websites, and managed office networks. Most recently, I served as a Technical Support Specialist at CTM in Macau, focusing on network design, Linux system maintenance, and automation. Now, as I embark on a new journey in Ottawa Canada at Algonquin College studying Cloud Development and Operations, I am excited to continue evolving my expertise and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
