At my core, I'm a learner—whether it's mastering spoken or programming languages, obsessing over the art of design, delving into the learning sciences, crafting compelling narratives, or exploring cutting-edge applications for AI. This insatiable curiosity has defined my career, inspiring me to transform my knowledge and skills into innovative products that empower others along their learning journeys.
While living abroad in China, I bootstrapped my first company, which was later acquired by a Fortune 500 company. There, I continued to innovate, developing tools and curricula that empowered thousands of learners to master essential literacy skills, acquire a second language, explore programming fundamentals, understand music theory, and more.
Over the past decade, I’ve led teams to design and develop impactful solutions that help learners achieve their goals and unlock their potential. During my Master’s in Learning, Design, and Technology at Stanford, I founded my second startup, Quizeo.ai—a platform leveraging computer vision and AI to transform classrooms into cohesive, collaborative teams while maximizing learning outcomes and ensuring accessibility for schools with limited resources. From bootstrapping to pioneering new EdTech solutions, my journey reflects a relentless commitment to learning and empowering others to do the same.
I earned my Master’s in Learning, Design, and Technology from Stanford in 2024. While delving deeply into the learning sciences, I also honed technical skills in data structures and algorithms, web technologies, computer vision, and generative AI. My product design skills were further refined through courses like Digital Design Principles and Applications, Design Sketching, and User Interface Design Project.
My education extends well beyond formal academic training. Since 2012, I’ve been an avid learner on platforms like Udemy, where I’ve developed expertise in design tools such as Illustrator and Figma, as well as technical skills like React and MySQL. Additionally, I took a Post Graduate Certificate program in full stack development from Caltech and completed a teacher preparation program to deepen my understanding of pedagogy in K-12 environments. This blend of academic rigor and self-driven learning has equipped me with a diverse and dynamic skill set to innovate in the EdTech space.
My principle of 'work smarter and harder' has helped me get recognized by world-class institutions and Fortune 500 companies.
