I used to piss my mother off. Before I would start playing with my Gameboy I got for Christmas, I'd already be taking it a part to figure out how it's built. We'd soon find ourselves on our way to Toys R Us to get a replacement unit.

In other words, I've always loved building stuff. And now, I'm working on a few ideas I've had in the backlog...

Previously, I was at a venture studio where I oversee a portfolio of over 10+ ventures under the Mitsui & Co. umbrella. I work with founders & teams on product development & design, fundraising, go-to-market strategy, and growth.

Outside of investing, my experience lies in launching new products to the market. One of my more interesting experiences was launching a new suite of office furniture products & eCommerce experience for ROOM (backed by Bjarke Ingels).

I also co-founded my own startup called Coral Robots, where we launched the world's first 2-in-1 robot and handheld vacuum. I live the full founder lifestyle: I go on sales calls, manage a team of 30, negotiate business contracts in English & Chinese, and even assemble my own robots on the factory floor. We were featured in Wired, Esquire, and even won a 2019 CES Innovation Award.

Prior to running Coral, I worked with some amazing people. I built products at Yieldmo, a USV-backed startup. We launched a number of new Ad-Formats that received hundreds of million impressions per day featured on publications including CNN, The New York Time, and Time Magazine.

I also worked as a designer with IDEO, prototyping new business units for the IDEO coLab. We built out the Bits + Blocks coLab, a thinktank that built new applications for Bitcoin and Blockchains. Throughout the coLab, we collaborated with a number of clients including Citi Bank, Nasdaq, Fidelity Investments.

I studied at Harvard University, where I got a degree in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Chinese. Outside the classroom, a few friends and I started Harvard's first undergraduate design club called Springboard. We organized the HarvardxDesign conference, in collaboration with Harvard Business School and the Graduate School of Design, which featured partners from Pentagram, IDEO, Continuum, and more.
