Profile

I have a master's background in Architecture, Built Environment and Management, with exchange study at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. My experience spans built environment, economic management, data analysis, and product practice. Rather than fitting into a single narrow function, I am better suited to problems that require product thinking, market understanding, data judgment, and cross-team execution at the same time.

I focus on AI products, learning-efficiency tools, content growth, and data-driven decision making. I also hope to translate my background in real estate, urban assets, and business analysis into more concrete product and strategy capabilities.
