02 — ABOUT
A Boat on Water
My name is水一舟 — Shui Yi Zhou
It translates literally to "a boat on water." There's a simplicity to it — a vessel that moves with the current rather than against it. That's how I try to live and build.
In English, I go by Yvonne Shui.
Flow is how I approach everything: code, AI, life. A decade of mindfulness practice taught me to build with presence, not pressure.
I build full-stack apps and AI workflows that actually work. I stay on top of what's new so you don't have to. Coding with AI is play for me. I care about security — I come from traditional finance. Privacy and reliability aren't optional.
I'm deep into financial engineering. If you're a trader with a great strategy but don't know how to automate it — I'm here to help. I turn trading ideas into systems that execute. Backtesting. Live deployment. The full pipeline.
Intimidated by the latest technology? I get it. I don't overcomplicate things. I build systems that are easy to maintain. Easy to understand. Tech shouldn't only be for elites. My goal is to empower you to own what you build.
THE APPROACH
Flow state. Mindfulness. Building with presence, not pressure. From finance analyst to software engineer to founder — I've learned to move like water.
THE PRACTICE
Buddhist. 10+ years of Vipassana. I sit with what's real — consciousness, impermanence, the nature of reality. It shapes how I build.
THE STACK
Full-stack. Infra. Systems. I handle the whole pipeline. Always exploring what's new — so I can share what actually works.
THE MISSION
Make technology accessible. Help non-tech people understand what they're building. Empower, don't create dependence.
03 — PHILOSOPHY
Stream of Consciousness
Coding with AI is play.
Technology should be accessible to everyone.
I help you understand what you're building.
Flow with the tools. Don't fight them.
Empower, don't create dependence.
