Contributions
Hou’s public GitHub projects include async-post-message, a library for making the browser’s postMessage interaction asynchronous, and a handwriting-font application that turns a person’s own letterforms into a reusable digital representation. His portfolio also includes photography and design work. These projects show a practical interest in interfaces that translate a user’s intent into something they can see or use.[3][4]
