Hi! I am Wei.

Product design engineer and business strategist 🌍

I am a generalist who thrives at the intersection of business and technology. Since graduating from MIT with degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Entrepreneurship, I have gravitated toward projects involving consumer hardware, product development, manufacturing… I have experiences identifying problems, figuring out what customers want, bringing solution to market (0-100,000 units), and managing my own schedule and budget. Having worked at pre-seed to Series D startups (and public companies), I have gotten to wear many hats.


Current

I work at Bevi. Eliminating single-used bottles/cans from the beverage industry.

Outside of work, I like to stay busy with side projects. See below.


Previous

I have spent around 9 years each in China, New York City, and Boston. Check out my journey.

Since college, I have spent 5 years working at VC backed startups and a public company in Boston. I learned a lot here about how high functioning teams are run and what successful product development programs look like.
