About

I've been the AI person teams bring in before they have an AI team — six years across surgical robotics, finance, and the enterprise agent platform I now lead.

Agentic engineering is a commodity. What isn't: choosing what to build, where automation stops, and whether thousands of people can rely on it. I'm business focused — I construct architectures that last and kill work that isn't earning its keep.

I build the team as much as the system — shared design practice, review conventions, an AI bar the whole team works to, not a personal hack.

Some of this work predates agentic AI as a category — embodied navigation at UCLA, surgical prototypes at J&J, portfolio automation measured against P&L. Same problem, different names.

Off the clock: strategy games, roguelikes, board games — systems that reward long-term thinking. Former board game club president.

Based in Taipei. Working across Silicon Valley, NYC, and Asia — one location, continuously global.
