Helping smart kids learn like Einstein

I grew up in Toronto and Guangzhou, questioning the purpose of education. Now, I'm building things that give people more agency.

Some fun facts: I went to college with a $100k scholarship and dropped out with a 0.82 GPA. I designed a Toronto high school's pedagogy from scratch. I sang in Carnegie Hall as a kid. I like chess.
