ZOPOSA CONNECT & CREATE

Start with what
you want to solve.

Understand the context, clarify the challenge, and uncover value by connecting the right expertise and resources. Whether you want to improve how things work, explore a collaboration, or make better use of AI, let’s turn your ideas into tangible progress.

Business · Teams · Security · Education · Taiwan & Japan

Bringing different expertise to the same table.

Inspired by Taiwan’s banquet chefs: understand the occasion, bring people together, and make it happen.

  1. 01Activate what you have
  2. 02Bring in outside resources
  3. 03Connect the right partners
01 Business Find out what is worth pursuing and where to start

“I have an idea, but I’m not sure where to start.”

We start with your business model, existing resources, and the outcomes you want. Together, we identify where investment makes sense and where AI could help.
The experience your most knowledgeable people have never written down may be one of your most valuable assets.

02 Teams Improve workflows and help your team use AI well

“We want the team to work better. What needs to change?”

We look at everyday work, bottlenecks, responsibilities, and how knowledge is shared. Then we design practical ways to use AI that fit into the team’s daily workflow.

03 Security Find a practical way to bring AI into security services or products

“We want to bring AI into our security services or products. How do we approach it?”

We start with your security services, products, and customer needs to identify where AI can add value, where it fits, and which technologies and resources are needed.
I draw on security and product experience to help evaluate directions, validate ideas, and move toward implementation.

04 Education Improve how we teach and the environments where we learn

“How can we improve our teaching methods and learning environment?”

We start with the challenges educators and learners face, and explore improvements to teaching methods, learning support, and the learning environment.
Connecting education with other disciplines, we consider how AI can support teaching and learning in ways that meet real needs.

05 Taiwan & Japan Find the right partners and move collaboration forward

“We want to work across Taiwan and Japan, but we’re missing the right connections.”

We begin with both sides’ needs and goals, connecting businesses, industry communities, and academic resources in Taiwan and Japan.
I help partners understand each other’s expectations and ways of working, turning introductions into concrete collaboration.

Different expertise.
One shared table.

The name ZOPOSA echoes the Taiwanese word for a banquet chef, 總舖師.

At a traditional Taiwanese community banquet, this chef brings together the people, ingredients and timing that make the occasion work. The role calls for understanding the setting, coordinating a team and taking responsibility for the whole experience.

ZOPOSA gives the different parts of my work a shared identity. I bring this spirit to each new conversation: understanding what you want to solve, finding value in what is already there, and connecting people with complementary expertise. It is a way to explore what we could do together, including where AI can help.

  1. 01

    Build on what you have

    Find value in your knowledge, data, processes and team.

  2. 02

    Bring in the right expertise

    Connect with the people, technology and resources that fill real gaps.

  3. 03

    Make collaboration work

    Help people across disciplines understand one another and move forward together.

The flowing S in the shark emblem reflects how I move between fields, explore new value and connect people.

Founding & Running Companies Built it from a one-person studio into a leader in Taiwan’s domestic security industry

From a studio to a leading domestic security vendor

Took a company from zero to a leading position in Taiwan’s domestic security industry. I’ve managed teams, built systems, and I often break down problems for clients and the community through a business-model lens.
Security, law, business, and entrepreneurship, put together, change how you see a problem compared to someone from a single field. It makes it easier to spot the needs in the AI era that clients haven’t put into words yet.

Associations & Talent Development Building security associations across Taiwan

Taiwan’s security industry associations · Since 2013

Over a decade on the ground building Taiwan’s security industry associations. Started with the student community TDOHacker, then went on to found, chair, and serve as secretary-general for several national security associations, including the first secretary-general of the Taiwan Information Security Industry Development Association.
This is the engine that connects circles. Industry, academia, and government relationships tie together here, and that’s what makes security and AI work actually move.

Information Security Built a homegrown Taiwanese BAS platform

Leukocyte-Lab · Since 2016

A homegrown Taiwanese breach-and-attack simulation (BAS) and red team automation platform. Shown at the CyberSec 2021 and 2022 domestic security pavilion, visited by the President and Vice President. Twelve years in security practice, alongside building Taiwan’s security associations the whole way.
In recent years I’ve been bringing security into AI, studying persuasion engineering in the AI era. The talk “The Oldest Attack, the Newest Prey” traces the line from social engineering to persuading AI with language.

AI Adoption Results shipped into a listed company’s product line

Google Cloud AI PSO Engagement · 2024

Six months of technical collaboration with the Google Cloud AI PSO team, with results shipped into a listed company’s product line. Spoke alongside a Google security architect at Google Cloud Summit Taipei 2025.
Combined the experience of building and leading teams with an AI technical background into a three-session course on leading with AI, covering how managers lead with AI and how to spot real needs in the AI era.

Between Taiwan and Japan Deep ties across Japan’s industry, government, and academia

Taiwan-Japan Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Symposium Speaker · Recent

Japan is the relationship I’ve invested in most these past few years.
The people I know span the security industry, company leadership, industry associations, and academia, and I’ve led association exchanges between Japan and Taiwan.

Law & Regulation Studying the frontier of technology and AI law

Soochow University, Master's Program in Law (Executive Track), Technology Law Concentration · Current

Studying technology law at Soochow University, working at the frontier where AI and law meet.
Coursework runs from digital security law to AI law to intellectual property, all at the intersection of security and technology law.
