Built by an industry veteran

Sun Wei

17 years of enterprise software development experience

My name is Sun Wei, and I’ve been working in the software industry for 17 years. This experience has helped me simplify the website creation process so that anyone can learn to build a site with ease.

I’m the creator of MDFriday — a tool that can convert Markdown files into websites even offline! This is possible because I spent nearly three years rewriting the core of Hugo, the world’s fastest static site generator, making MDFriday compatible with over 500 Hugo themes. It now also integrates with Obsidian, allowing you to instantly turn your local Markdown notes into multilingual, international websites.

In addition, as a consultant, I’ve gained extensive experience in training design and content development. I currently work at Thoughtworks as a Lead Consultant, focusing on AI First Software Development (AIFSD).
