About

Hi. First of all, this is a personal website. Everything on here is my own opinion, and no one else’s. Now that we’ve got that out of the way …

I’m an economist by trade. I know the ins and outs of competition versus anti-competition, telecommunications economics and network economics. I love working with data and I’m an Excel virtuoso. A day spent crunching numbers in STATA makes me happy.

I like to design things and I’m two of the thumbs in Eight Thumbs. We’ve made an iPhone app. I’ve also made a video web app that you might like to check out (try it on your iPad for extra fun). With my partner Crystal Luo, I co-founded Barefoot Dynasty, a product design company.

If none of that tickles your fancy, I also like to take photos.
