About Me

I love to build things, especially software. To do that, I became an engineer, manager, and data scientist. These require different skills, but they all contribute to the effectiveness and scalability of engineering solutions.

These days, I am leading the engineering teams to build Snapchat’s Stories and Discover products. Previously, I worked at Houzz, Google, USC/ISI, Microsoft Research Asia.

I write something here every week about my learnings on engineering leadership, technical insights, and reading digest. It’s a diary for me to reflect on some of the topics I care about. I hope more people can find it useful as well.

Software can create magic. I am not a mere dreamer, but a magician.
