Summary

I am a Technical SEO Specialist focused on solving indexing, rendering, performance, and crawlability issues for complex JavaScript-driven websites and large multi-domain ecosystems. I’ve worked across crypto exchanges, iGaming platforms, and Web3 products to make SPAs fully crawlable and search-friendly using Cloudflare Workers, prerendering pipelines, metadata injection, and architectural improvements.

My background blends SEO, web architecture, and hands-on debugging across 200–1000+ domain networks. I build SEO systems that improve discoverability, stabilize rendering, and strengthen analytics through GTM/GA4 event modeling. Fluent in English and Mandarin, I collaborate effectively with engineering teams across APAC and globally.
