Over the past three years, I’ve had more than 100 coffee chats with MBA applicants, master’s students, and young professionals, helping them think through school choices, career pivots, and how to tell their stories with confidence. Having lived, studied, and worked across both China and the U.S.—in finance, consulting, tech, and entrepreneurship—I’ve been through many of the same transitions and uncertainties my clients are facing. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to make big career decisions in a new environment, and my goal is to offer practical guidance, honest feedback, and a supportive space to figure things out. If you're exploring paths across consulting, finance, tech, or even starting something of your own, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and momentum.

In the competitive world of high-stakes tech, a great resume is just the entry fee. To land the role and the salary you deserve, you need a comprehensive personal brand and a strategic edge. I bring deep experience from working at AWS and Microsoft, combined with the "in-the-trenches" perspective of a venture-backed startup founder—milestones I successfully navigated all by the age of 27. I specialize in helping professionals bridge the gap between "qualified" and "hired" by providing the exact tactical playbook I used to secure pre-seed funding and transition between the world’s top tech giants. My approach is built on three pillars of success. First, I offer a mastery of the FAANG hiring bar; having previously run a private resume-reviewing business where I helped 20+ clients land their dream jobs, I know how to overhaul a profile to stand out to elite recruiters. Second, as a student of Computer Science at Georgia Tech, I provide unique insights into the world of top-tier U.S. post-grad education and can help you navigate the application landscape and technical rigors of elite programs. Finally, as a venture-backed Co-founder and COO, I offer an insider’s view of the high-growth startup ecosystem, helping you translate technical skills into leadership potential. Whether we are deconstructing your experience for a high-impact resume, building a personal brand that attracts recruiters while you sleep, or navigating the nuances of salary negotiations to ensure you aren't leaving money on the table, my coaching is rooted in real-world data and current industry trends. I don’t just give advice; I provide the roadmap I used to excel in the global tech market before the age of 30. Let’s stop guessing and start getting you the results you’ve earned.
