A PERSONAL RECORD
I grew up between Shanghai, Toronto, and Hong Kong — three cities built by convergence, none of which let you believe a place has a single origin. Everything I work on circles the same question from two directions that don't usually share a sentence: finance, and documentation.
“What does a thing carry from where it came from — and how do you keep that record from disappearing?”
THREE CITIES
I study Finance & Economics at the University of Toronto's Rotman Commerce, class of 2027, with a semester on exchange at the University of Hong Kong Business School. cGPA 3.75/4.00, University of Toronto Scholar, Dean's List Scholar. Coursework in Capital Market Theory, Corporate Finance, Machine Learning in Finance, and Data Analysis — the same instincts, pointed at markets instead of memory.

BEYOND THE DESK
THE OTHER DIRECTION
If finance asks what a thing is worth, this is where I ask what it remembers. A small, ongoing series on people who work directly with material and memory.
Calvin Sio, whose Macau company turns spent tea leaves into usable material. The angle was making the unseen seen.
Yoshitoki Iijima, the Japanese architect working in cork and raw soil. He posited whether childlike wonder and memory could be held in physical space — what stays in a material, and what gets lost as we grow up.
