About Me
I grew up in Toronto and Guangzhou, questioning the purpose of education. Now, I'm building things that give people more agency.
Some fun facts:
- went to college with a $100k scholarship, dropped out with a 0.82 GPA
- designed and implemented a Toronto high school's pedagogy from scratch
- sang in Carnegie Hall as a kid
- I like chess (:
