A little about me
New York, NYI grew up in Beijing and moved to the US when I was 16. This gave me the perspective that the world we know is made up of stories we tell ourselves.
I’ve spent my whole career building tech startups. I love it because it forces me to think about the true nature of the world.
I’m currently working on New Collectives. I hope to bring together my experience building coordination technology and communities, along with my perspective across cultures, to nudge the world towards a positive future.
Always a work in progress.
