Born and raised in Central Jersey (stop your smirking), I grew up as an American Born Chinese. I'm an academic, a techie, a perfectionist, a wannabe musician and an overall nice guy. I've been drawing for years and only recently did I really expand that passion for creating into things outside of pencil and paper. Currently, I am in my fourth year at Carnegie Mellon University completing an accelerated master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction. I also attended CMU for my undergraduate degrees in Information Systems and HCI.

Having completed my undergraduate degree in Information Systems, I am working to obtain my Master's degree in HCI. My classmates and I are continuing work with CMU's Housing and Dining to launch and deploy our online food tracker. Additionally, I am working with a team of four in an 8-month long project course to design an interface for GE's cardiovascular information system tablet. All the while, I am still trying to find time to teach myself guitar.

The masters program I have enrolled in will go through the upcoming summer and finish at the end of 2011. Although I am not actively looking for a job, I am still interested in any freelance, or part-time opportunities in the Pittsburgh area related to UX design, product management and web (app) development. I'd love to hear about any opportunities where I can learn about and improve on what I already love.

Doodling, people watching, skiing, figuring out how things work, shooting pool, popcorn, laughing, cool gadgets, movies with explosions, and breakfast for dinner (brinner).
