About Me

In short, I’m an IT worker, lifelong learner, and flâneur. Technology, music, art, and food constitute my simple life.

Not really big on astrology, but I’m an Aries ♈️ if that means anything to you. If MBTI is more your thing, I’m an INTP-T 5w4. As for my blood type, well, that’s not really a hot topic anymore, is it? :-)

My career has been quite varied — I’ve been a TESOL instructor, dabbled in songwriting and music production, earned an Honours degree in Computer Science, built websites and software, and now I’m diving into clinical trials. I enjoy coding, design, art, creative work, and project management. My hobbies? I’m into music (from listening to records to catching live shows – check out the Tracks page if you wonder what I'm listening to), food, tech, reading (I'd love a wiki-binge anytime), astronomy, typography, and taking short trips. I'm a believer in Epicureanism and appreciate the best of both city and country life. Pet-wise I'm a dog person but have no pets at this point. I don’t have a huge social circle or a packed schedule for social activities, but I’m definitely family-oriented. In the summer of 2025, I decided to move from Hamilton — a city I once called home — to London, Ontario. I’m still open to relocating and exploring new experiences elsewhere.

I’m not related to Bobby Shew, though we share the same last name and both enjoy jazz.

A netizen since 1999, I’m currently focusing on three things on the Internet: 1️⃣ acquiring new information and skills, 2️⃣ expanding career opportunities and project ideas, and 3️⃣ connecting with new friends worldwide (not necessarily in that order).

And one more thing. This is my personal website. All content here and on my blog was created by me unless otherwise noted. The views expressed are entirely my own and don’t reflect those of any past, present, or future employers — or anyone else, for that matter.

Thank you for dropping by. Have a good one!
