I am startup entrepreneur, specializing in cryptography, security, privacy, and blockchain.

I also like playing sports, video games, and starting things. Friends say I am entertaining and erudite. Having immersed in various cultures, I can talk about anything in depth but always hungry to learn more!

I'm not verified because I don't want to pay 160 HKD a year. I'm bootstrapped!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet cool interesting people and totally immerse into local culture. And I am bootstrapping my startup (which means spend as little as possible) :P

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: haha no thank you not since high school. I only read literature related to work.

Movies: I like movies that invite me to me to think deeply about the plot while it's unravelling and lingers on as metaphysical or philosophical thoughts: Crimson Tide (1995), Infernal Affairs (2002), Minority Report (2002), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), The Prestige (2006), Vantage Point (2008), Inception (2010), and Arrival (2016).

Music: jazz, math rock, melodic rock, metal, rap but not hip-hop. My favourite piece is John Cage 4'33.
