Hi, I’m Melvyn.
I build tools and automations.
Most of them help with monitoring, research, reporting, or work that comes up again and again.
Selected work
Three projects I can share. Open one to see the work properly.
Private research · 416 runs
Research Infrastructure
A repeatable way to test ideas, keep records, and see when results stop holding up.
- Python
- SQL
- Parameter testing
- Research workflows
OutcomeRuns are comparable, so changes and weak results are easier to spot.

- The problem
- Important checks were easy to miss, and there wasn’t one place to review them.
- What I did
- I built scheduled bots that filter signals, send alerts, manage preferences, and report their own health.
- Outcome
- The bots now handle the recurring checks and tell me when one fails.
- How I check it
- Failures and health updates are sent clearly, so I know when something has stopped.
Private research · 416 runs
Research Infrastructure
- The problem
- A promising result can still be noise, an unstable setting, or something that has stopped working.
- What I did
- I set up repeatable tests, logged each run, and made it easier to compare results over time.
- Outcome
- Each run is logged the same way, so I can compare changes and spot when something stops holding up.
- How I check it
- Risk limits stay explicit, and I make the final decisions.

Product & Reporting
- The problem
- Users, clients, and engineers needed the same clear picture of what was being built.
- What I did
- I worked through the scope, acceptance criteria, bilingual experience, reporting, and delivery.
- Outcome
- The platform was delivered in English and Traditional Chinese, with reports generated on a schedule.
- How I check it
- Requirements are agreed before handoff, and the finished work is checked against them.
How I work
A few things I try to do
Start with the actual problemI try to be clear about what really needs to change.
Don’t automate every decisionSome judgment is better left to people.
Make failures easy to spotIf something breaks, I want to know.
Keep it understandableSomeone else should be able to follow it.
