Engineering
Background
Heyo! I’m a UC Berkeley grad who also happened to grow up in the bay area. I doubled in EECS and Business and spent a lot of my time in college trying to build a startup of my own in the wearable electronics space (peep the website) – ask me anything about swimming and earbuds and motion sensors and why it’s so hard to make things waterproof. After making every mistake you could possible make I spent ~1.5 years at Stripe building their new consumer wallet Link and made my way to Fay when I started getting that startup itch again.
I’m currently living in NYC and spend my free time playing basketball, meeting up with friends, and making my way around all the trendy restaurants and cocktail bars in the city.
My favorite meals
- 🥡 Stir fry — my goto when I want something easy and proven and filling. Throw a bunch of things in a pan and add some noodles or rice and you’re good.
- 🇹🇭 One of my favorite Thai dishes is Khao Soi. Super comforting and less basic than the usual pad thai or green curry but still pretty basic.
- 🍞I love all breads and carbs especially stuff from Asian bakeries.
- 🇹🇼 My parents are from Taiwan and I love everything you can possibly find to eat there except for the Korean food. For some reason the Korean food in Taiwan is not the greatest.
What I’ve been learning and reading about lately
- Animation — I always find that the more you know about things the more you can appreciate them. After watching a few animated shows that I loved I’ve been digging into the more technical parts of animation and how all the details add up to make an amazing visual.
- Skiing — Still trying to figure out how to do moguls without eating it every time.
- Keeping up with ML and ~AI~ – machine learning was the first technical thing I got into in college and it’s super cool to see how far it’s come in so little time.
Get to know me a little better
I used to swim competitively and had some fun doing photoshoots while building waterproof earbuds for my (failed) startup
