About Me
I’m Kuan-Jung Huang (黃冠融) — most people know me as KJ, by the initialism KJH (as in this site, kjhuang.com), or by my English name, Kevin. I’m a software engineer and technology leader based in Taipei, Taiwan, with 8+ years of experience building at the intersection of AI, security, gamification, and Web3.
I’m currently the CTO at Metablox.co, a Web3 platform building decentralized WiFi networks and NFT game loops, backed by $5M in venture funding. I also founded Epoch Technology Co. (玖駿資訊), a software consultancy that helps companies ship products from idea to production.
As a Technical Consultant at The Octalysis Group, I partner with gamification pioneer Yu-kai Chou on behavioral design and gamification frameworks — applying game mechanics to real-world products for companies ranging from seed-stage startups to listed corporations like HTC.
