👋 Hi, I'm Cat.

I'm currently building Starlight.

After spending most of my life in the Bay Area, I'm currently based in Brooklyn, NY. In my spare time, I'm re-learning how to code, reading @ BPL, and jamming on side projects.

A couple of random tidbits and work pieces from my life:

Shipped products that improved how 500M+ users find people, knowledge, and content. (LinkedIn, 2021)
Launched a new ad format and monetization vertical for online events (LinkedIn, 2020)
Led introductory design thinking classes (Stanford, 2019)
Contributed to several (here, here, and here) research projects in the CS department (Stanford, 2015-2019)
Studied classical piano, competed in various competitions, and performed @ Carnegie Hall (San Francisco Conservatory, 2010-2014)
