Hi, I'm Kwan.

I'm a curious mind with a passion for data and technology.

I see technology as a tool for driving social and behavioral change. My goal is to create systems that (1) tackle human ignorance and (2) boost self awareness, in order to drive understanding between individuals and communities.

My Philosophy

Curiosity, Creativity, Community.

Finding the dots and connecting them.

“To stay eager, to connect, to find interest in the everyday, to notice what everybody else overlooks — these are vital skills and noble goals. They speak between looking and seeing, between hearing and listening, between accepting what the world presents and noticing what matters to you.”

- Rob Walker, The Art of Noticing

The pursuit of truth is what keeps me curious. I strive to understand the world and the workings of our society. Truth comes in multiple forms - empirical, historical, emotional, theoretical. Truths combine to form new truths. Every being to each their own. Studying various disciplines, observing nature, appreciating art, talking to strangers — curiosity allows me to explore and find the dots which are the points of truth.

With every knowledge and observation, I seek to find the connection. To draw the lines between the dots. To update my state of truth with every iteration of findings.

Making the most with what we have.

I believe that it is in our nature to create. It is an expression of self and individuality. Creativity drives us to make the most with what we have. Not what we will have or what we had, but what we have in this moment.

Inspiring and lifting people up.

When I reflect on my life, I consider myself lucky. Lucky to have good health; lucky to have the resilience to overcome challenges. I want to use my knowledge and skills to help people live better lives - to be kind (to themselves and others), to live authentically, and to unlock their full potential (in order to achieve their dreams and to contribute to the world).
