BIO
I work with people I will be friends with for a lifetime. I love hacking. I started off my career building a startup in China, and soon joined Wit.ai to work on an API for natural language processing. We used a suite of interesting tools, like Clojure, which heavily influenced my software design philosophy. We were acquired by Facebook. After 4 years, I had a stint at Airbnb, and decided to start Instant with my best friend. I also love to write; you can read some essays on my blog: stopa.io
