Goldman Sachs UCL First Class Agentic AI Start-up Founder Ballerina Volleyball Captain

Engineer. Builder.
Founder.

I'm an engineer building for impact, with community at heart. At Goldman Sachs, I've led the design, build, and launch of the firm's first client-facing AI-powered agentic semantic search solution, pioneering work that has positioned us as trailblazers and innovators within the firm, now serving 10,000+ institutional clients. Today, I'm building Vouch, a social discovery platform that helps people live richer, more enjoyable lives by finding places and experiences through the people they trust.

I move through life with purpose, intention, and joy. My dream is to spend a lifetime helping others find theirs, through something I build myself.

My Journey

From leaving China at 18 to building at the frontier of AI: the chapters that made me who I am.

Age 18 · The Leap
Left China Alone
Moved to London with no family, no friends, no safety net. Rebuilt my entire identity in a new language and culture. It was the biggest bet I've ever made on myself, and almost everything I care about now started right there.
UCL · Management Science
First Class Honours
Explored the intersection of data science, computer science, and business, and started loving the craft of designing, innovating, and building solutions with impact.
Goldman Sachs · Investment Research
Software Engineer
Joined Goldman Sachs straight out of UCL. Learned what it takes to ship production code at the scale of a global firm, and then asked for the hardest unsolved problem on the team.
Back-to-Back · Impact Fund
Leader, Not Just Engineer
Twice I rallied engineers, traders, and salespeople around a cause I believed in, built the financial case, and pitched Senior Partners. Turns out I do my best work when the room is full of people who don't normally cross paths.
Now · The Frontier
Agentic AI Pioneer
I build what doesn't yet exist at the firm: first to try, first to break it, first to ship it. Ready to bring that mentality to something of my own.

0 to 1 on a product I believe in. Same discovery problem I've solved for institutions, now for the rest of us.

What I've Built

I see things that don't exist yet and go build them, whether it's technology, communities, or campaigns that change lives.

External-Facing Agentic AI
10,000+ Institutional Clients
I've led the design, build, and launch of an externally launched agentic AI at Goldman Sachs: a semantic research engine for asset managers and hedge fund managers. I've owned the full architecture: agent orchestration, streaming pipelines, and dynamic UI rendering. Shipped in experimental territory with minimal precedent.
Vouch: Building Now
300+ Waitlist · ~50 Beta Users
A social discovery platform helping people find places and experiences through friends and local tastemakers they trust. Cuts through information overload by leveraging real social networks. My unfair advantage: I've engineered discovery for 10,000+ institutional clients at Goldman Sachs. Now I'm applying that same expertise to how consumers discover the world.
NGO Impact Fund ×2
76,000+ children impacted
Finalist in Goldman Sachs' Analyst Impact Fund two years running: top 10 of 300+ teams. Scaled "Rubbish Science" across 80 schools in Africa (26,000+ children). Deployed solar-powered handwashing stations reaching 50,000+ students in India. Built financial models, business plans, and pitched to Senior Partners.
GS Volleyball Club
0 → 200+ members in 2 years
Founded and grew one of the most active employee communities at Goldman Sachs from scratch. As captain, led the team to public tournament victories. Organised training, events, and socials, largely through my own initiative alongside my co-founder.
My Technical Edge

I move fluently between front-end, back-end, and infrastructure. Years as a full-stack engineer at Goldman Sachs taught me how to ship production code at scale, with React, TypeScript, and Python at my core. Today I'm operating at the frontier of agentic AI, designing systems that don't just answer questions but reason and act.

Beyond Work

A software engineer who trains in classical ballet, runs half marathons for charity, hikes across countries on foot, and shows up for causes that matter. Same discipline in ballet, on the trail, and in the codebase, just different terrain.

Ballet
Discipline · Resilience · Precision
Ballet doesn't let you fake it. What I love about training classically is the part nobody sees: the same exercises again and again, the same corrections from my teacher, the same mirror I can't lie to. The discipline that holds a clean line at the barre is what holds clean architecture in production.
Piano
Patience · Memory · Expression
I've been playing piano since I was six. It's how I stay creative and connected to music, the one practice in my life that's just for me.
Social Causes
NGO · British Heart Foundation · War Child
I keep coming back to education, public health, and kids growing up in conflict. Seven half marathons for the British Heart Foundation and War Child so far, and the miles are how I keep showing up.
Alpine Hiking
Tour du Mont Blanc · 170km · 3 Countries
I walked 170km across France, Italy, and Switzerland on the Tour du Mont Blanc. I love being out in nature. The mountains keep me humble, grounded, and always a little in awe of how big the world is.

Let's Build Something

I've spent my career solving discovery problems: building external-facing agentic AI at Goldman Sachs for 10,000+ institutional clients, and now Vouch for the rest of us. I'm looking for the right community to go all in. Let's talk.
