About

Hi, I'm Simon (Yuxiang) Zhou.

I work across business operations and technical execution, focusing on digital transformation, AI application development, system operations, and front-end engineering.

I currently lead transformation initiatives for Water Doctor (waterdoctor.ca) and JY Dream Technology Inc. as a builder-operator, helping companies deploy practical digital workflows, data systems, and scalable online channels.

Academic background: dual bachelor's degrees + one associate degree.

Current project: shiroyi.love, an anime-focused content column we are building and iterating.
