About Me 關於我的一些事
我希望其他人知道的關於我的事情
我是張為淳，今年二十六歲，夢想是征服全世界。
國中考高中、高中考大學、大學進入職場都上演著同一齣戲碼，到最後一刻才開始趕緊努力挽救；真要說的話，大學有好一點，大三就意識到這個問題而延畢一學期(雖然也有點弄巧成拙)做好準備，但畢業當完兵後依舊待業求職半年才找到工作。
從一開始在LinkedIn上發文作為日記和反思，到後來慢慢有很多人跟我一起成長儘管我們素為平生，意識到自己分享經歷或許可以幫到很多跟我一樣的人後開始寫作，儘管大部分寫出來的東西自己不甚滿意，但還是持續下去。
有些人可能因為我出社會後的經歷誤會我一帆風順或是自帶光環(真心希望我沒有，有的話還請大家跟我提醒)，因此，將我自身最真實且有點個人的經歷分享在這。因為我覺得這樣的故事才會幫助到有需要的人，我自己就是在待業半年時不斷有人告訴我他們也走過這段路，甚至還有朋友車禍斷了一條腿搭飛機到英國拄著拐杖到處面試，我才能堅持到現在。
我一直很希望對社會有些貢獻，但覺得自己影響力太小而努力積攢實力；然而，我發現即使是這樣寫著文章，我也是些微的在幫助他人以及提升影響力。因此，儘管我覺得自己的人生很多事都還沒走順，但希望藉由這些文字可以讓迷惘或是需要幫助的你得到一絲力量和啟發，讓我們繼續傳遞這股能量。
Something I want you to know about me
I’m WeiChun Chang, go by the name Marcus in English world (Yes, in Chinese, we have two words for First Name. So would appreciate you call me WeiChun instead of Wei).
From junior high to senior high, high school to college, college to workspace; I’m having the same shit show: I didn’t work hard until the last moment. Well, I probably improve a bit in college. This time, I realized the problem in my junior year and start to work on it, postpone my graduation for a half year (even though it’s an accident) to get myself more prepared. Ended up spending another half year job searching though.
In the beginning, I was just posting on LinkedIn for self reflection and recording my life. But it turned out that I get to know many people I never met growing and encouraging each other. I realized my posts can help many like me and started writing these article despite the fact that I’m not satisfied with my writing.
Some might think I’m having a perfect life and proud of myself because my experience (If so, please let me know because I really don’t want to be like that). Therefore, I’m writing down my truest and somehow personal experience because I think these true stories are able to help others indeed. When I was stuck in job searching for a half year, I had many people told me that they’d been through this; that’s how I had the faith to hang in there. I even had a friend told me that he broke one of his leg before fly to England for job searching. And he ended up going many place for interview with his crutch and he made it.
I always hope to have contribution to this society but thinking I’m not have any influence. However, in my journey posting on LinkedIn, I realized that I’m able to help others even just a bit. Therefore, despite that I’m still having my challenges in my life and career, I hope these words can help those who are lost or looking for help can get some inspirations or faith in yourself. Hope we can continue to pass on this positivity and make this world better.

我正在做的一些事情
這篇文章我會一直更新，主要在於一些我最近在做的事情和接下來的規劃。藉由這個方式我當作發表聲明同時監督我自己，但在做的內容不一定都是跟工作有關的。
跳舞
儘管出社會後不像大學有那麼多時間練舞，我還是蠻希望可以保持跳舞的習慣、偶爾去參加比賽以及上課進修；在身體老化太嚴重之前，希望自己可以拿個小比賽的冠軍(大概政大自己辦的比賽吧)，作為一個小小的里程碑。
經營Medium/ YouTube
雖然現在寫文章的頻率很不一定，但我希望可以保持在一個月一篇的情況下持續產出。YouTube的經營比較算個人興趣，本來是作為我記錄在日本生活的地方，但經營了一陣子之後發現剪輯影片跟經營YouTube這件事很讓我可以脫離工作的壓力，因此我也希望可以保持兩週一部影片的頻率，分享我之前在日本的旅遊及工作經驗、台灣的一些特色以及資料科學、科技業工作者的分享等。
上課學習
近期的我在上的課跟之前比較不同，之前花了很多時間單純提升我的程式語言能力，但近期我試著轉換；我正在上的是Google在Coursera的Project Manager Certificate，我希望藉由這個方式可以讓自己的工作還有生活更有效率的安排以及為之後做主管做些準備(雖然不知道還有多久)。除此之外，清單上還有ML Ops (By Deeplearning.ai)以及利用Streamlit打造Web App等課程。
Google Maps
我其實已經在Google Maps上面寫評論以及上傳照片一兩年了，我想不太起來一開始怎麼會開始這個習慣，但後來發現Google每年會有Google Maps Local Guide Summit邀請世界各地活躍於發表評論以及上傳照片的人到矽谷總部進行高峰會，這就變成一個我持續上傳的動力，儘管因為疫情已經停辦兩年了。
娛樂
除了一些比較正經的以外，最近的放鬆除了看奧運比賽以外就是打任天堂Switch的魔物獵人 崛起，很有讓我重溫以前打線上遊戲的喜悅。因此，除了運動跟看劇以外，最近開始玩了魔物獵人就成為我的一大放鬆了。

Something I’m working on
I’ll keep updating this article, mainly on this part about what I’m working on and what I’m planning. I want to keep track and monitor myself using this way as a declaration.
Dance
Even though I don’t dance as much as I did in college, I hope I can keep it. Go to battle, party, and taking class. My small goal for myself is to win a championship no matter how small the battle is (Probably an open battle hold by my college club).
Run Medium & YouTube
My frequency of publishing new articles is pretty random. But I hope I can keep it at least once a month. About my YouTube channel, in the beginning, it was a place for me to record my life in Japan. However, it turned out that when I editing videos, I can throw all working and learning stuff away and it’s pure fun. Therefore, I hope I can keep it once every two weeks sharing my work and travel experience back in Japan, some special things in Taiwan, and my personal experience as a tech and data science worker.
Learning
Recently, I’ve been taking pretty different courses than before. In the past 5 years, I spent many times polishing my programming skills through online courses. However, I want to refresh myself a bit. Thus, I’m taking Google Project Manager Certificate on Coursera. I hope this course can make myself more organized in both work and life; also take it as a preparation for future people manager role though I have no idea when it will happen. Some other courses I’m considering includes ML Ops by deeplearning.ai and learning how to build Web App using Streamlit with Python.
Google Maps
I’ve been writing reviews and uploading pictures on Google Maps for two years. I can’t remember how I started it. But I found there is Google Maps Local Guide Summit each year gathering active users from all over the world. And it becomes a motivation for me to continue to contribute on Google Maps even though the summit has been cancelled for two years due to pandemic.
Entertainment
Besides some serious topics, recently I’ve been watching Olympics game and playing Nintendo Switch’s Monster Hunter. Even though I spend most of the time doing exercise and watching Netflix, this Monster Hunter is a lot of fun for me in the past few weeks.
