I work at the intersection of math, psychology, economics, and design - four different lenses on the same question: how do people actually decide?
Born and raised in Singapore, I attended New York University and majored in Economics, building on it with coursework in psychology, math, and design. Together they've become the four lenses I keep coming back to whenever I look at a product.
I've spent time on both sides of the market - inside startups building products for people, and inside private equity looking at those same products through a financial lens. Both taught me something different about how value gets made and how it gets missed.
Now I'm exploring where those interests meet - design, finance, and AI - because that's where the question I started with keeps mattering most: how do people actually decide, and what does the product do about it?
I design AI products, especially for the moments when the model gets it wrong. (Also some graphic design for fun.)
I read companies through their filings, not just their press releases. The numbers usually show where a business is headed before management says it.
I go down rabbit holes on purpose. New sector, new market, new problem: I dig until I know which questions actually matter.
I take dense material and make it easy to follow. A 40-page 10-Q should fit on one page, and a new sector should fit in a two-minute pitch.
I like shipping things end-to-end: a marketplace, an earnings analyzer, this site. An idea only counts once it holds up against real code and real users.
