About

Hey there! I’m Tim. Welcome to my personal website.

Quick facts

  • I’ve been working full-time as a product manager for the last 2.5 years at Intuit, working on fintech and marketing platforms like QuickBooks, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp for consumers and small businesses.
  • I’m a huge personal finance nerd, and I like writing about the philosophy, systems, and tools needed to use money to live a fulfilling life.
  • I speak English, Chinese, and Japanese. I previously founded an online language exchange platform, connecting 270+ students across Japan, the US, and the UK.
  • I dabbled in the startup life. I worked on a few failed ventures throughout college and pitched a startup idea to YC, eventually realizing it wasn’t the right path for me at the time.
  • I love long-term travel. Some highlights include: studying abroad in Japan, working at a cram school in Taiwan, and going on a 1-month backpacking trip in Europe.
  • I’m 25 years old. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I graduated in 2021 with a degree in Computer Science and Business from UC Berkeley.
