Last modified 8/28/24

Hello! I’m Tao Lu, an enthusiast of many things. This website is an ongoing hobby of mine that gives me a reason to stay up to date with web technology, given that my professional career has been an intentional flight away from JavaScript. I now work in the fun (CSS-free) space of systematically trading global equities1. This is also just a place to write things without having to go through a social media platform.

Places where I’ve established residency

  1. 1996 - 1998: Xi’an, Peoples Republic of China (having been born)
  2. 1998 - 2014: Toronto, Canada (immigration)
  3. 2014 - 2019: Waterloo, Canada (college)
  4. 2019 - 2022: New York City (work)
  5. 2022 - now: Chicago (in-unit laundry)
