Hidden Talents

Chinese Traditional painting

I began traditional Chinese painting at seven, captivated by negative space, expressive landscapes, and Zen qualities. My work, shown in Japan and Korea, brings tranquility and has deeply influenced my design and appreciation for minimalist beauty.

Photography

I love using my camera to capture the world, whether it's the beauty of landscapes or fleeting human moments. These glimpses of time and nature are worth recording, allowing us to connect with the world through photographs

Thoughts

My abilities:

  • Exceptional instincts for consumer products and user experience, with a knack for understanding user needs and surpassing expectations.
  • Innovative mindset paired with effective execution, skilled at envisioning and articulating transformative strategies.
  • Capable of dreaming big while prioritizing decisively and delivering rapidly to facilitate iterative learning.

More about me:

I've always been curious about how things work, which is why I ended up studying everything from mechanical & environmental engineering to computer science. My career path has been a bit of a rollercoaster, from building physical products to designing digital ones, ranged from traditional manufacturing to robotics, smart electronics, life sciences, and software technology. This diverse path is driven by a genuine passion for learning and exploring various fields. Each transition was motivated by a deep curiosity and desire to challenge myself.

For instance, my interest in environmental engineering was sparked by my experience as a delegate in a Model United Nations climate change committee during high school and witnessing pollution in my city's river. These experiences really opened my eyes to the bigger picture and fueled my commitment to environmental protection and sustainable practices, further demonstrated by my role on a sustainable advisory council.

Throughout my career, I’ve successfully applied transferable knowledge and skills across industries. I’ve discovered that my true passion and sweet spot lies in managing, designing and building products within the software industry that people actually use and enjoy. It's a mix of creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork that really excites me. I excel in understanding user needs, creating intuitive and organized products, and collaborating with diverse teams. My strong logic, aesthetic sense, and enjoyment in product design have been key to my success.

I'm a people person at heart. Building connections and collaborating with others is what makes life interesting. I enjoy sharing my thoughts, creating engaging content, and resonating with audiences.

Beyond work, I'm a big believer in balance. I love spending time in nature, whether swimming, hiking, or soaking up the sunshine. Music is another passion of mine, and writing songs allows me to express my creativity. When I need a break, I escape into books and explore new worlds.

In essence, I am a genuine individual with an open heart, embracing change and challenges while striving to make a positive impact on the world.
