BIO
Building Hera, an AI motion designer. I was the first engineer/employee at Flagright (YC W22), where I built and led core infrastructure from the ground up and scaled it. I was also an early engineer at Vyond, where I built Vyond Studio, an online video editor used by 20,000 businesses today. I hold an MS in Computer Science from National Taiwan University (NTU) and have been working in software engineering since 2016.
