Hello!! I'm Tinsley, I chose the name cuz it's kinda unique and I felt it related to me. I'm an adventurer, risk taker, and an idealistic dreamer. I graduated from Berkeley and moved to NYC for FinTech job. Currently on a work-travel mode as I’m able to work fully remotely. Outside of work before covid, I love going to local events and visiting new places. My life goal is to travel around the world, use technology to change people's life and make movies along my journey. I love adventures and anything outdoors like hiking, camping, sports, going to music festivals. Always curious about the world and people around me, so I want to connect with more people and inspire each other in some way!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an engineering girl with humanity heart. I love talking about technology and solving puzzles. I can teach you about my major and my perspectives in big data. 🤓 I'm also spontaneous, sometimes have a lot of weird ideas. A stereotype it may be for Chinese, I love ping pong and chess, would love to play with you when we meet. I also love singing and dancing so let's flow with the music. Came to US years ago to experience a different kind of lifestyle. I love sharing my stories and I'm eager to hear about yours too!
