Chen Chen — Co-Founder

I wrote my first line of code when I was seven, and later got a degree in architecture. On paper, that means I love perfectly structured, elegantly designed systems. In reality, after 10+ years of building startups from the ground up, I know that business is messy. You rarely get a perfect blueprint. That’s exactly where I do my best work. I like stepping into the noise, figuring out the actual problem, and shipping a product that works. I don't care about tech jargon or the latest AI hype. I care about leverage: finding the smartest, most pragmatic way to use technology to get real business results. Currently, I'm an Engineering Lead at PaperKite, where my main focus is connecting real AI capabilities with intuitive mobile interfaces. Because of my time as a Co-Founder at EZMOB and Director at Pii Mobile, I tend to look at technology through a commercial lens. It's never just about writing code or clearing technical debt for me. It's about aligning the system architecture with actual business goals, managing resources smartly, and leading teams to ship things that matter. Outside of my day job, I spend a lot of time architecting and shipping my own AI products. I'm much more interested in building functional, scalable agents than just theorizing about what's next. My current projects include: JobSparrow: A scalable AI SaaS designed to optimize the job search process through intelligent document generation and personalized interview prep. Tutor AI: A real-time AI homework solver combining computer vision and LLMs to deliver scalable, step-by-step personalized learning. Dreamcraft Tale: A multi-modal generative AI platform (text, image, audio) that instantly creates and beautifully illustrates personalized storybooks. (I still believe in building relentlessly in the dark so the products can shine in the light.) I am always open to connecting with other builders, founders, and tech enthusiasts. If you want to chat about the future of AI agents, mobile architecture, or how to build products that scale, feel free to drop me a message. Let's exchange notes.
