How It Started
I grew up in a musical family. Building wooden artifacts in my dad's workshop and soldering circuits were my first experiences of building something. Learning various musical instruments became a lifelong hobby. My first computer, a 486 Pentium, sparked my interest in tech, leading me to a vocational school where I learned programming and hardware basics. I started freelancing in web design after taking a night-time web design course and teaching myself Photoshop. In college, I majored in Computer Science and relocated to the U.S. in 2008, restarting another bachelor’s in Design Media Arts at UCLA.
How It's Going
Over the past decade, I’ve collaborated with small businesses, research labs, startups, and the U.S. government. As Product Design Lead at Beyond Limits, I drive the design of a hybrid AI platform, develop prototypes, and fine-tune design practides in a Scrum team. Previously, I led the design of a DoD-commissioned platform at Insight Learning Technology and worked alongside scientists at UCLA’s Human Perception Lab. Each role has sharpened my ability to identify pain points and deliver practical, innovative solutions.
