TL;DR: Let me know if I can be of any help.
If my skills could be useful to you, drop me an email at timingliu[at]outlook[dot]com with the subject: Service Sunday (symbols translated to English to avoid spammers). I will build a running to-do list and help as much as I can. Undone tasks will be attended to in the subsequent weeks. If you are here because you messaged me via other means, rest assured that your request will be taken care of, too.
In the email, please specify the importance and urgency of the task.
Do note that because everyone only has 24 hours a day, I will prioritise services of the following nature:
- scalable (e.g. if you are asking for advice, can I write a blog post about it so that everyone can benefit)
- atomic (i.e. small, well-defined but impactful)
- reproducible: (i.e. can my services be passed on to help more people. The simplest thing to do is to let me know if you are keen to set up a similar scheme to help others)
- well-researched (there are so many information out there, so if the answer can be obtained from other sources (who are probably more authoritative than me), go for it)
At the moment I will set aside one hour on Sunday to serve others and will adjust if needed. This also helps me to better focus during the week to become the more reliable and competent friend that you are looking for. Please let me know how I can help you.
Did I forget anything? Oh yes. Charge. That is straightforward: you pay a flat fee of 0.

What I can and can’t do
Examples of what I can do:
- evaluation/discussion of ideas
- publicity for your work (e.g. speaking at the MedTech Foundation )
- introduce you to like-minded people
What I (probably) can’t do within that time:
- coding for a project
- My plate is full currently, but feel free to email me anyways. I might happen to be free then or I might introduce someone to you.

that is my high school motto, by the way. ↩︎
