I’m Ian. I grew up in Singapore and Malaysia, and currently live in California.

I quit my day job in November 2024 to do my own thing for a bit, but most recently I built data teams at MuleSoft and Salesforce. I’ve also worked on growing the startup ecosystem in South East Asia, starting a tiny fashion brand, and helping people get vaccinated in California.

I like obsessing over in-person experiences - I put on an art show in my apartment, organized a series of dating events, I was an Airbnb superhost, I host cocktail parties with themed menus, and worked on a summer camp for dancers (I also dance).

Some of those experiences are collected here.
