My story

Use technology to solve human problems

Hi, I’m Vista Cheng (鄭緯筌).

I published my first book in 1995 and have been writing ever since: 30+ years of writing and 21 published books. Along the way I moved between technology and the humanities, from software product manager and producer, to tech-media editor-in-chief, to author, speaker, and AI applications coach today. The career span looks wide, but the core has never changed.

In this era of AI explosion, many people feel anxious. What I see is opportunity. I run my own work as a “no-employee company”: one person, one AI army, one company. Writing, publishing, teaching, consulting, and running my websites are processes I design and then carry out together with AI.

“Use technology to solve human problems.”
