Writing worth the time it takes to read.

Who's at the desk.
Solo founder, CEO and CTO of an AI consumer-app company of about ten people, working across China and abroad. I do the machine learning, the product, and the fundraising, and I still write the interesting commits.
Before this: recommender systems on the App Store at Apple, quant macro at Bridgewater, and search at Baidu. Cambridge BA/MA, a Princeton PhD in machine learning, gold at the mathematics and physics olympiads.
Off the clock I study Buddhism and Chinese metaphysics — 八字, 紫微, 奇门, 易经 — not as belief but as the oldest, densest systems humans ever built for modeling a life. It turns out to be surprisingly good training for building AI that people trust with theirs.
