About
Hi, I'm Simon (Yuxiang) Zhou.
Founder of Water Doctor (Como Water Canada Inc.) and JY Dream Technology Inc.
I completed two honours bachelor's degrees at 
Nanjing University (Human Resources Management) and 
York University (Information Technology). I also hold an associate degree in Mechatronics Engineering from 
Jiangsu Union Technical College (Soochow University Campus Collaboration). In addition, I completed two years of technical training at 
Bildungswerk der Wirtschaft in Berlin und Brandenburg (BBW) and obtained an Advanced Electrician qualification.
I am a business-and-technology practitioner focused on enterprise digital transformation, AI application delivery, systems operations, front-end engineering, and mechatronics-related execution.
Today, my work centers on two companies: at Water Doctor (waterdoctor.ca), I deliver tailored water-softening and purification solutions for Canadian merchants and households; at JY Dream Technology Inc. (jydream.ca), I lead end-to-end enterprise upgrades from workflow design to production-grade technical systems.
For more details, please see my resume.
