I’m William Hu, also known as Jingwen Hu / 胡竞文. I like the point where a small idea becomes something you can actually use, hear, or play with.
Away from code, you’ll find me at the piano, making and editing videos, playing soccer or basketball, or sitting down for chess, UNO, and board games. I like figuring things out, especially with other people.

My music projects explore sound, personalization, and everyday wellbeing; they do not establish clinical outcomes.
Explore all projectsThe things I make are only part of the picture. These are a few things I enjoy just as much.
Away from the screen, I enjoy spending time at the piano. Music is something I enjoy playing, listening to, and exploring through code.
Soccer and basketball are a good reason to step outside, move around, and enjoy being part of a team.
I like making and editing videos: finding a sequence, a cut, or a small detail that makes an idea come across.
Chess, UNO, and board games bring out another side of my curiosity. A little strategy and good company go a long way.
Exabyte Technologies
I founded Exabyte Technologies around a simple idea: technology should be safer, more convenient, and more approachable. It’s a home for projects that bring that idea into everyday life.
Our public work spans music experiences, useful software, printing tools, and websites. The projects here belong to the organization’s portfolio; shared work is credited as shared work.
The full collection: products, experiments, and everyday tools.
