Chronically online and love playing around with technology. I write my thoughts on that and other things like fashion, and music here.
Previously managed to get an internship at RaiseMe during my freshman year, and worked with cofounder George Kirkland until they got acquired. I did some front end engineering at Microsoft’s office360 team and realized I didn’t like the repetitve task of trying to translate human language to computer language. After being bitten by the startup bug, I got conviced by Inbae Lee to go work at Kakao Ventures focusing on African LP relations did some research of early stage ventures with Contrary Capital. After deciding to formalize my data science and stats professional skills, I went to Meta where I worked on Facebook Messenger – and where I currently maintain the Ads Ecosystem as a Data Scientist.
