I am a dancer, an entrepreneur, a history and chemistry double major and a beginner in data science.

I am interested in how the youth around the world use Internet and how they interpret their history. I have joined 4 startups, including online media, social media app, AI in FinTech.

I am now planning to travel in Middle East and South East Asia. I have studied Modern Middle East History and Introduction of Islam in college.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

I traveled to the remote mountain side village in China which my ancestors came from 300 years ago, according to our family records. As a history major, I kind of did a field study, collecting oral stories and ancient family records. I also witnessed the election of the new town major.

but now I have traveled to Iran, so maybe Iran is the best.
