Chiu Yin Chen?

I'm Yin Chen, an Entrepreneur and a Dreamer

I'm an entrepreneur and full stack web developer from Taiwan. Over the past 2 years, I've been building, deploying, and scaling software for my own startup projects. I'm always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow. If you also love technology, let's connect! 🚀

About.

Hey! I'm Chiu Yin Chen, an entrepreneur and full-stack developer from Taiwan 🇹🇼. BUBU E-Scooter is the project I am currently leading. I'm always open to connecting with others interested in SaaS, so don't hesitate to reach out if you also love technology!

Currently, I am building Papa (Potato in Spanish), a SaaS platform tailored for SMBs and startups. Papa provides customizable website with React and Tailwind CSS, CMS, Accounting Information System, which is built with a helpful AI agent to help organize all entries and accounts, and a No-Code Database. Besides, Papa offers all the Collaborative Work Management tools you needto help spinning up your business ASAP. Papa aims to offer an affordable, reliable, and modern platform that streamlines business operations for entities throughout Asia.

Beyond technology, I am passionate about travel and cultural exploration. My life goal is to experience as much of the world as possible. In the past 6 months, I lived in Bogotá, Colombia 🇨🇴, as an exchange student at Universidad de los Andes representing National Chengchi University.

Moreover, I'm a huge fan of coffee and tea. Which was one of the reasons I chose Colombia for my exchange program.

More about me? I'm pursuing a double major degree in European Languages and Cultures and Accounting at National Chengchi University in Taipei. After gaining some professional experience in technology, I plan to pursue a master's degree in a tech or business-related field outside of Taiwan.
