About ME

My name is Pete Cheng Guan.

我叫关程华宸。

I was born in Shenyang, China.

I got my MSc in the University of Birmingham in 2017, supervised by Prof. Mark D. Ryan and Dr. Ian Batten in cyber security field. During the college time, I focused on penetration testing, crypto suite in network protocols and password management.

I joined ctrip.com at the very beginning of 2018, working as an Site Reliability Engineer, and started to learn DevOps techniques about Load Balance, ADC devices(F5, A10 and Citrix Netscaler), CDN, GSLB, influxDB and new programming languages like Python and Golang here. In saying that, everything is new for me but deserving to enjoy.

Spare Time

I am an Aston Villa fan. Forever and ever.
