Hi, I’m Haotian Chai. I’m a back-end engineer splitting my time between Shanghai and Hangzhou, passionate about building things for the web.

By day, I’m an engineer at AntGroup. My journey in tech has also taken me through some amazing companies like Jike, Keep, and WandouLabs.

This blog is my space to step back and reflect. Here, I share snippets from my life and travels, thoughts and notes from books I’ve read, and reflections on my work in software engineering.

When I’m not coding, you can probably find me:

  • Exploring the world through my camera lens 📹
  • Enjoying a quiet moment with a good cup of coffee ☕️
  • Hitting the road for a drive 🏎️ or a trail for a hike 🥾
  • Staying active with jogging 🏃 and snowboarding 🏂

Oh, and I’m a proud dog dad to a lovely corgi named Beta. You can see her adorable antics here!

My guiding principle is to always stay curious.

Thanks for stopping by.

你好，我是柴昊天。一名生活在上海和杭州的后端工程师，对创造互联网产品充满热情。

白天，我在蚂蚁集团工作。在此之前，我也曾在即刻、Keep和豌豆荚这些很棒的公司留下过足迹。

这个博客是我停下脚步、思考和沉淀的地方。在这里，我会分享一些生活与旅行的片段、读书的随想，以及作为一名软件工程师的工作反思。

工作之余，我通常会：

  • 用相机探索世界 📹
  • 享受一杯好咖啡带来的宁静时刻 ☕️
  • 在公路上驾驶 🏎️ 或在山野间徒步 🥾
  • 通过慢跑 🏃 和滑雪 🏂 保持活力

哦，我还有一位家庭成员，一只叫 Beta 的可爱柯基。你可以在这里看到她的萌照！

我的人生信条是：对生活永远保持好奇。

感谢你的来访。
