What this work has taught me

I saw a lot of overseas clients run into trouble with transport and customs after they had sourced their products. I wanted to help them make their cross border logistics steadier and simpler.

A lot of what I do is consolidating goods from several domestic suppliers and arranging container shipments.

Early on, a document oversight led to cargo being held at port. That taught me to double check every logistics document for every shipment, in advance.

Now I support the company's global growth, keep improving our logistics channels, and put together cost effective, stable cross border transport for different clients.

Away from work I am into games and novels.
