Hi, I’m Dapeng 👋
I’m a Full-Stack Software Engineer and Independent Developer. I design, build, and ship thoughtful web applications, developer tools, and digital products for the global market.
Currently based in China, I am actively building in public while planning my next life and career chapter in Canada 🇨🇦.
🚀 Projects & What I’m Building
I believe in Build in Public and letting working software speak for itself. Here are a few things I’m currently working on:
- ⚡ Timestamp Pro - Unix Epoch Converter — ⚡ Timestamp Pro is the ultimate, lightweight developer efficiency tool designed specifically for engineers, backend developers, and data analysts.
- IndieResizer - One-Click Multi-Size Image Generator — IndieResizer is an efficient multi-size image generation tool specifically crafted for indie developers, designers, and social media managers.
