🔮About

Born and raised in Taiwan, now based in London. Started in VC, moved into startups, and spent most of my early career around Taiwan-based companies building for the US market. Now working on Posting Machine, helping B2B founders turn company context into LinkedIn posts and sales conversations.

By nature I break things, question everything, and bring probably too much energy to both. Building toward something (postingmachine.ai) of my own, starting now.

I wasn’t a good kid by Taiwan’s standards.

I got good grades, but I hated the education system that produced them. Taiwan’s education is a machine optimised for compliance: memorise, repeat, rank. I played the game well enough, but I never believed in it. I broke rules, asked inconvenient questions, and found the most interesting things always happened outside the classroom.

I got into National Taiwan University to study Finance. I thought university would be different. It wasn’t. More lectures, more rote learning, more teaching to the test. I was disappointed again.

So I stopped waiting for the curriculum to teach me something useful and started building my own.

I threw myself into student organisations, competitions, side projects, internships, anything that felt closer to the real world than another lecture slide.

(I wrote an article about the broken education system in Taiwan: link)

University was the first time I realised there were people trying to design their own lives instead of following the default path.

I got involved in student organisations, competitions, side projects, and startup communities. I co-founded a small e-commerce business with friends. I also interned at startups, a VC fund, and a PE firm.

That period changed my reference point completely.

Until then, success in Taiwan mostly looked like getting into a good school and finding a stable, respectable job. But through startups and the internet, I started seeing people optimise for a different thing entirely: freedom, leverage, speed, ownership, impact.

I became obsessed with that world.

Around the same time, I noticed many of the smartest people around me drifting toward careers they didn’t even seem excited about. Banking, consulting, traditional finance. Smart people postponing their actual lives into some undefined future payoff.

I understood why they chose it. I just knew I didn’t want the same thing.

I didn’t have a fully formed plan yet, but I knew I wanted to stay close to ambitious people building things, taking risks, and shaping the future instead of maintaining the present.

I started my career in VC.

At first, it felt like the right place to be. I was close to startups, meeting founders, learning how investors think, and seeing different markets from above.

But the more founders I met, the more obvious it became: I didn’t want to stay on the side analysing companies. I wanted to be inside one.

So I moved closer to the work.

I joined Taiwan-based startups building for the US market and got exposed to the unglamorous parts of company building: growth, hiring, finance, operations, customer work, internal systems, and founder-level problem solving.

That period trained me more than school did.

I learned that startups are mostly not about the pitch deck version of building. They are about fixing broken processes, chasing customers, hiring the right people, making messy tradeoffs, and doing whatever needs to be done before anyone has time to define the role properly.

That suited me.

I liked being close to the founder, close to customers, and close to the parts of the company where decisions had immediate consequences.

The more I worked inside startups, the more obvious it became: I didn’t just want to work around startups. I wanted to understand how great companies are built from the inside.

Naval has a line I keep coming back to: where you live is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.

Taiwan is a great place. But the ceiling is visible. The density of ambitious people building globally-scaled startups is somewhere else. So I decided to move.

I didn’t want to pay for a master’s degree just to earn the right to work abroad. A university can give you a local network, but you can also build that yourself if you’re willing to do the work.

So while I was still in Taipei, I started cold messaging people in the UK startup ecosystem: founders, operators, investors, anyone interesting. I ended up doing 30+ calls before I even landed in London.

Two months later, I had a job offer and moved.

I’m now working as a Founder Associate at MAGIC AI, one of the UK’s fastest-growing consumer AI startups. Small team, high intensity, lots of responsibility. Exactly the kind of environment I wanted.

Outside work, I’m also building Posting Machine, helping B2B founders turn company context into LinkedIn posts and sales conversations.

Long term, I want to build a meaningful technology company.

Not because “being a founder” sounds impressive, but because building feels like the highest-leverage way to test ideas against reality and create something that matters.

Taiwan is known globally for chips and manufacturing, not software companies. I think that can change.

I want to be part of that story.
