Who am I

Hi visitor, I’m Ian.Y from China — or just call me 老法海, which is my nickname in Chinese, if you get the reference.

I’m a full-stack web developer turned logistics operations & technology manager, with 17 years of hands-on experience since 2008 — and I’m still writing code today.

My journey

I wrote my first serious lines of code in 2008, when I was a college sophomore and the whole country was watching the Beijing Olympics.

Over the years, I’ve:

• Built and shipped enterprise-grade systems using PHP, Java, Go, Python, JS/TS, Vue, React, AngularJS, ExtJS and more.
• Stepped into logistics and supply chain, driving IT system design, digital operations, and standardization.
• Taken on executive responsibilities across HR, administration, legal affairs, and overall business operations.
• Currently focused on operations in a line-haul logistics company specializing in commercial vehicle transport.

What I bring

• Full-picture thinking — from architecture to execution, from codebase to contract.
• The ability to build from 0 to 1, whether it’s a system, a process, or a team.
• Cross-role collaboration — bridging developers, ops, and decision-makers.
• A mindset rooted in clarity, accountability, and scalability.

Why this site

Over the years, I have built and maintained several personal blog sites, but due to various reasons, most of them are no longer active. As I accumulate more experience and grow in my career, I feel it’s important to leave a record — a place to share insights and reflections from my professional journey and life. Here, I share practical knowledge about programming, logistics, operations management, legal affairs, and the lessons I’ve picked up along the way. My aim is to offer useful insights to peers and anyone else walking a similar career path.

Why English

As you can see, most of the content on this site is written in English. That’s because I’m currently learning the language, and I believe the best way to improve is to use it everywhere.

I’m not fluent yet, but I’m making progress every day. If you spot any mistakes, I’d be grateful for your corrections!

BTW, I’m also looking for language exchange partners. If you’re learning Chinese, I’d be happy to help out. Feel free to reach out — let’s chat and learn from each other!

Welcome aboard. It’s not just about code or cargo — it’s about how things fit together.
