Today I lead Zoza (formerly Jamix) as co-founder & CTO.
I earned my PhD at HKUST, explored complex problems at IBM Research, then wore every hat imaginable at Airbnb — frontend, backend, machine learning, design, and everything in between.
Now I'm focused on building AI agents that are simple to set up, learn in context, and take action safely — with clear interfaces, explainable decisions, and a user experience that feels natural.
