A path, not a label
About
I work on problems where information is incomplete, rules compete, and people still have to decide what happens next.
Background
I studied business, then international relations, then spent years working across public, commercial, and nonprofit settings. What connects that path is not an industry label, but a recurring kind of problem: incomplete information, competing rules, multiple stakeholders, and decisions that still have to be made.
AI became a natural extension of that path. I began building systems that could preserve context, expose disagreement, and support people without replacing their judgment.
Today I work on AI transformation at a company building intelligent hardware and embodied AI systems. The work has made me pay closer attention to how people prepare decisions, hand tasks across teams, and decide what they can trust. I bring those questions into the AI product prototypes I build independently.
Path
Experience
2026–present
AI Transformation & Enablement
At a company building intelligent hardware and embodied AI systems, I work across operational workflows and AI adoption. I am exploring how agents can help teams with real tasks, and what context, review, and ownership they need before people can rely on them.
2023–2026
Environmental Defense Fund
Working inside a global environmental NGO on sustainable trade and climate strategy meant navigating evidence, diplomacy, and institutional constraints at once. The deeper education was watching AI cross a threshold: from a tool people reached for into a presence that changed how work, context, and judgment were divided.
2021–2023
ByteDance
Content governance at platform scale was rarely about knowing one right answer. It meant exercising judgment when rules were ambiguous, edge cases outnumbered clear ones, and individual decisions could set precedent.
2020–2021
China Belt and Road Portal
At the intersection of policy research and international cooperation, I worked on green development, cross-border energy, and infrastructure while coordinating across government, corporate, and research networks.
