Current Chapter
Very intrigued by the AI-wave we are currently riding, and always thinking about what ideas can really ride the tail end of the wave.
People Who Influenced Me
Throughout my journey, I’ve been fortunate to learn from and be inspired by many people:
- Aldo Pacchiano
- Andrew Jones
- Evan Jones
Values & Philosophy
I like to listen to perspectives, ideas, experiences or even mis-experiences, singularly to learn more about how we can make tomorrow better than today. A lot of situations in life are not fair, and the first step towards fixing that is learning about those situations, especially the ones we are least exposed to.
