Goldman Sachs UCL First Class Agentic AI Building Vouch Ballerina Volleyball Captain

Engineer. Builder.
Founder.

I solve discovery problems. At Goldman Sachs, I led the design and build of an external-facing agentic AI — a semantic research engine now serving 10,000+ institutional clients. Now I'm building Vouch — a social discovery platform that helps people find experiences through people they trust. I understand how people find what matters to them, and I know how to build the technology and communities to make it happen.

The Journey

From leaving China at 18 with nothing, to building at the frontier of AI at Goldman Sachs.

Age 18 · The Leap
Left China Alone
Moved to London with no family, no friends, no safety net. Rebuilt my entire identity in a new language and culture. The risk was total — financial, social, psychological. Every meaningful thing in my life traces back to this single decision to bet everything on myself.
UCL · Management Science
First Class Honours
Graduated with distinction from one of the UK's top universities. Dissertation on electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Community Outreach Officer for the Parkour Society. Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award recipient.
Goldman Sachs · Investment Research
Software Engineer
Joined Goldman Sachs as a software engineer in the Investment Research division. Quickly moved to the frontier of AI, leading experimental projects that would transform how institutional clients interact with research content.
Back-to-Back · Impact Fund
Finalist ×2 · 76,000+ Lives
Led cross-divisional teams of engineers, traders, and salespeople to reach the finals of Goldman Sachs' Analyst Impact Fund two consecutive years — top 10 out of 300+ teams each time. Helped scale STEM education across 80 schools in Africa and deploy solar-powered handwashing stations reaching 50,000+ students in India. Pitched to Senior Partners.
Now · The Frontier
Agentic AI Pioneer
Led the design and build of an external-facing agentic AI at Goldman Sachs — a semantic research engine that's transforming how 10,000+ institutional clients discover content. Spearheaded the agentic architecture in experimental territory with minimal precedent. Ready to take this builder mentality and create something of my own.

What I've Built

I see things that don't exist yet and go build them — whether it's technology, communities, or campaigns that change lives.

Vouch — Building Now
Currently building MVP
A social discovery platform that helps people find places and experiences through friends and local tastemakers they trust. Cuts through information overload by leveraging real social networks. Built with React Native and Python. Currently building MVP.
External-Facing Agentic AI
10,000+ Institutional Clients
Led the design and build of an externally launched agentic AI at Goldman Sachs — a semantic research engine for asset managers and hedge fund managers. Owned the full architecture: agent orchestration, streaming pipelines, and dynamic UI rendering. Shipped in experimental territory with minimal precedent. React, TypeScript, Python.
NGO Impact Fund ×2
76,000+ children impacted
Finalist in Goldman Sachs' Analyst Impact Fund two years running — top 10 of 300+ teams. Scaled "Rubbish Science" across 80 schools in Africa (26,000+ children). Deployed solar-powered handwashing stations reaching 50,000+ students in India. Built financial models, business plans, and pitched to Senior Partners.
GS Volleyball Club
0 → 200+ members in 2 years
Founded and grew one of the most active employee communities at Goldman Sachs from scratch. As captain, led the team to public tournament victories. Organised training, events, and socials — largely through my own initiative alongside my co-founder.

Currently Building: Vouch

A social discovery platform that helps people find places and experiences through friends and local tastemakers they trust. Trust your tribe. Reduce information overload. My unfair advantage: I've engineered discovery systems at Goldman Sachs for 10,000+ institutional clients — now I'm applying that same expertise to how consumers discover the world around them. Built with React Native and Python.

Technical Edge

I've spent my career solving discovery problems at scale — building AI systems that help people find what matters to them. From institutional research to consumer experiences, I understand search, recommendations, and how trust shapes what people choose.

Beyond Work

A software engineer who trains in classical ballet, runs half marathons for charity, and hikes across countries on foot. The same discipline I bring to ballet barre and 21km races shows up in how I architect systems.

Ballet
Discipline · Performance · Precision
Classical ballet trains a kind of focused attention that doesn't switch off. Repetition until it's effortless. Composure under pressure. The ability to perform on demand. The same discipline that holds a clean line at the barre is what holds a clean architecture in production.
Running for Causes
7 Half Marathons · BHF · War Child
I run for things that matter. Seven half marathons completed in support of the British Heart Foundation and War Child — funding heart disease research and protecting children growing up in conflict zones. 21 kilometres at a time, for causes I refuse to be quiet about.

Let's Build Something

I've spent my career solving discovery problems — building external-facing agentic AI at Goldman Sachs for 10,000+ institutional clients, and now Vouch for the rest of us. I'm looking for the right co-founder and community to go all in. Let's talk.
