Roots in Taiwan.
Previously Tokyo.
Building in SF.

I'm not just a bridge. I'm an operator who notices what breaks, what doesn't translate, and finds insight in the friction.

I grew up low-income in Taipei β€” single mom, no one around me in tech. I broke in anyway.

IB taught me how capital moves (Β₯1.8T IPO). VC taught me what makes companies work (5 deals, $25M portfolio raise). Startups taught me that nothing matters until you ship ($300K raised, 1β†’12 team).

Now I build systems so others don't need luck to find the path.
