About Me

Last updated on January 27, 2025

Hi, I’m Alex Hsu! 👋

I’m a solo iOS indie developer based in Asia. Currently developing several apps but the only one I’ve published is MARU: Easy Japanese. Before I started my indie journey, I worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Meta. I move around a lot and have lived in China, the US, Taiwan, and Japan.

I’m old.

Some of my interests:

• 🎮 Playing video games
• 🌝 Astrology
• 📚 Reading personal development books
• 🇯🇵 Japanese
• 📱 Digital Minimalism

For iOS developers who sees this page, fun fact: I was actually a teaching assistant for the CS193P iOS course when I was a grad student at Stanford. That course was what got me started on iOS development!

I deleted most of my social media accounts to have a more quiet digital life. You can reach me through my email. I try to respond to all emails within 10 days (normally faster than that), except for spam or sales emails.
