I received my BS and MS in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2013, where I worked with Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller in the Stanford AI Lab. I grew up in Singapore and served as an "AI" (armored infantry) officer before coming to Stanford.

In 2012, I joined Coursera as its third employee. I served as Director of Partnerships and Course Operations for two years, during which I built a team of 25 people working with thousands of instructors and staff from 100+ schools, and then as the product manager in charge of university-facing products. I returned to Stanford in 2015, working for a year with Anshul Kundaje on computational biology. In 2016, I started my PhD in Computer Science at Stanford, working with Percy Liang. I'm supported by a Facebook PhD Fellowship.
