About

For the last few years I worked on growth and monetization at Figma: pricing, plans, and the flows that get people to pay. I'm between things at the moment, figuring out what comes next. On the side, I write long-form research on private tech companies for Contrary Research.

I started coding in college because I wanted to make things. I grew up obsessed with math and books, and writing software turned out to be the one place where both of those are useful at once.

Hobbies

Endurance training

Training is the one habit that always pays off. Showing up matters more than any single workout. So far: 8 marathons (2:55:44 PB) and one Ironman 70.3.

Building

In my free time I mostly do what I do at work: write code. Side projects keep me sharp and let me build things just because I want them to exist.

Reading

Reading is how I borrow from people smarter than me. A good book is years of someone's thinking that I get to skip ahead to.

Language Learning

Living in Taiwan and learning Mandarin changed how I think and listen. Picking up a language is mostly noticing patterns and paying attention to people.
