CURRENT MISSION

Expand my world by learning different perspectives from different people.

ABOUT ME

An engineer who enjoys philosophy, music, history, and culture as much as science and technology. I love to meet new people and learn new perspectives on how others live their lives.

I work in the San Francisco Bay area doing tech, finished school in the bay and figured I stick around the area (Stanford university, California) I was born in China, I grew up in the United States, and have spent significant amount of time living and studying in Europe.

I would love to learn more about all the different cultures of the world, and I'm always down for an interesting political discussion. I'm extremely tolerant of different cultural views and I would love to learn more from everyone that I meet.

I'm an hobbyist musician, though I've had far less time than I would prefer to play music these days. Currently Piano, formerly oboe, clarinet, sax.

I live my life to broaden my horizons, to see, experience, and live the world.
