We Find What Slows You Down

Since 2018, we've helped businesses across Taiwan identify performance bottlenecks before they become expensive problems. No marketing speak—just thorough testing and practical fixes.

Our Beginning

Started After One Bad Launch

Back in 2018, I watched a client's e-commerce site crash on their biggest sales day. They'd done everything right—except test how the system would handle actual traffic. That failure cost them over NT million in lost sales and damaged customer trust.

I'd been doing freelance development work around Taipei, but that incident changed my focus completely. Started reaching out to businesses with a simple offer: let me stress-test your systems before your customers do it for you.

What surprised me most was how many companies were running blind. They'd launch features, add integrations, update databases—all without knowing if their infrastructure could actually handle the load. Some didn't even have monitoring in place to see when things started degrading.

Seven years later, we've tested everything from financial platforms to logistics systems. The work is less exciting than it sounds—lots of data analysis, report writing, and explaining why that new feature needs different database indexing. But when a client tells us their Black Friday sale went smoothly because we caught their caching issues beforehand, that makes the late nights worth it.

What We Actually Do

Most performance problems fall into predictable patterns. We've seen enough systems to recognize them quickly.

Load Testing

Simulate real user behavior under various traffic conditions. Find out where your system breaks before your customers discover it during peak hours.

Database Analysis

Slow queries kill performance more than anything else. We review your database structure, indexing strategy, and query patterns to identify bottlenecks.

API Performance

Third-party integrations often become single points of failure. We test API response times, timeout handling, and fallback strategies under realistic conditions.

Code Profiling

Sometimes the issue is in the application code itself. We profile execution paths to find inefficient algorithms, memory leaks, and resource-intensive operations.

Monitoring Setup

You can't fix what you can't measure. We help implement monitoring systems that give you visibility into performance metrics that actually matter.

Capacity Planning

Growth is good until your infrastructure can't support it. We analyze current usage patterns and model future capacity needs before you hit scaling walls.

Performance Testing Specialist

Moved to Taiwan in 2015 after working in Oslo's tech scene. Spent three years as a backend developer before that e-commerce disaster made me realize testing was more valuable than building.

These days I split time between hands-on testing work and consulting with development teams. The technical side keeps me sharp, but I genuinely enjoy teaching developers how to think about performance from the start rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Outside of work, I'm usually hiking somewhere in the mountains around Nantou. Taiwan's trail system is incredible, and getting away from screens helps me think through complex performance problems more clearly.

How We Work With Clients

Each project is different, but the process follows a consistent pattern that gets results without disrupting your operations.

1

System Assessment

We start by understanding your current architecture, traffic patterns, and pain points. Most clients already know something feels slow—they just don't know where the problem lives. This phase usually takes a week and involves reviewing code, infrastructure setup, and existing monitoring data.

Testing Strategy

Based on what we find, we design tests that simulate real user behavior under various conditions. This isn't about breaking things for fun—we're trying to understand where performance degrades and why. We coordinate testing windows with your team to avoid disrupting actual users.

Analysis & Solutions

After testing, we analyze results and identify specific bottlenecks. Our reports focus on actionable findings ranked by impact. We explain what's wrong, why it matters, and what fixing it will involve. Some issues need immediate attention, others can wait—we help you prioritize based on your business needs.

Implementation Support

We stick around during the fix phase. Whether your team handles changes internally or you need our help implementing solutions, we're available to answer questions and verify improvements. Follow-up testing confirms the problems are actually solved, not just shifted elsewhere.
