Currently

I'm building Dreaming, an award-winning startup that helps people learn languages the way we've always learned them — through immersion.

Previously

  • Held leadership positions at venture-backed startups (Bird, Rappi).

  • Worked in technical roles at major tech companies (Amazon, Netflix).

  • Taught graduate courses in math and machine learning (Stanford, USC).

  • Conducted Ph.D. research in theoretical econometrics (Stanford).

Personal

  • Live in the world. I’ve lived in the US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, and now divide my time across all four regions each year.

  • Documenting beauty. I love photography and working with the camera. You can see my work here (phone camera) and here (fancy camera).

  • No gym, just sports. Wherever I am, you'll find me on the ski slopes in the winter and on the tennis courts in the summer.

  • Multilingual brain. I'm fluent in English, Mandarin, Spanish, and Cantonese. Currently downloading French.
