About
Hi. I’m Kuibin Lin. Nice to meet you!
I’m an AI engineer, and before that I spent seven years teaching Chinese. I came to technology fairly late, and mostly through self-study.
I can’t remember exactly when it started, but at some point I realised that even a basic understanding of programming isn’t just useful, it’s part of the foundation of how the modern world works and how new ideas become reality. Back at university, I always wanted to take a programming module, but it never fit into my timetable, so I never had the chance to study it formally.
After I started working, I took a short data science course that used Python. My learning has been on and off ever since, but my curiosity about programming, AI, and computer hardware has never faded.
Since bootcamps and formal courses can be expensive, I taught myself using resources like YouTube, Coursera, and Udemy. Later, I enrolled in an AI Singapore course when it was offered at a promotional price with a complimentary DataCamp subscription. I didn’t expect much beyond learning a few new skills, but that course eventually led me to become an Associate AI Engineer in AI Singapore’s AI Apprenticeship Programme.
The arrival of tools like ChatGPT made learning even more accessible. By combining online tutorials with AI, I’ve been able to explore a wide range of technologies, including building PCs, Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Jekyll, GitHub Pages, Raspberry Pi, Cloudflare DNS, WireGuard VPN, Docker, Nginx, Proxmox VE, TrueNAS, OpenWrt, Azure, and more.
I originally started this blog as a way to learn Jekyll and GitHub Pages. Over time, it has become a place where I document what I’m learning, share the projects I’m working on, and write about things I think others might find useful. You can browse the tools I’ve used or explore the different topics I’ve written about.
You’ll also find links to my GitHub, LinkedIn, and email in the sidebar. If anything here resonates with you, or you’re working on something similar, I’d be happy to connect.
