About

I'm Rey, an AI enthusiast and entrepreneur. My mission of building innovations that change people’s lives propelled me from China to Silicon Valley 16 years ago. As an entrepreneur, I've founded two companies, led teams of over 100 people, invested and incubated multiple startups to unicorn. For the last eight years, I've been focusing on building AI and AR personal assistant products that simplify people's life. My goal now is to expand my role within Google and the broader AI community, delivering impactful, life changing products on a global scale. I love learning and sharing, and had the privilege of guest-lecturing at HKU, Berkeley, NYU, and CMU. My interests lie in generative AI, vision AI, AR, education and Non-profit. If you're interested in collaborating on any of these topics or just want to chat, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
