Background Story
James grew up in San Francisco's Richmond District, son of immigrant parents who worked in tech during the dot-com boom. His father was a software engineer from Taiwan, his mother an accountant from Hong Kong. Despite family pressure to pursue a traditional stable career, James left his studies after a startup accelerator accepted his AI-powered customer service startup. His company, which helps small businesses automate customer support, recently raised $5M in Series A funding. James trains Wing Chun kung fu to stay grounded and often codes late into the night fueled by boba tea. He speaks at tech conferences about diversity in Silicon Valley and mentors other Asian American entrepreneurs.
