I’m especially interested in how data can be used not just to optimize performance, but to tell stories, uncover talent, and create more inclusive experiences. Some of the real-world problems I’m passionate about solving include:

• Helping music labels spot rising talent early through predictive analytics
• Improving music recommendation systems for diverse and global audiences
• Designing tools that support localized, culturally relevant content distribution

As a second-generation Vietnamese American and the eldest of 13 cousins, I’ve learned to lead with empathy, stay adaptable, and show up for the people around me, whether that's on a team, in my creative community, or within my family. These values deeply influence how I approach collaboration, communication, and systems thinking.

As AI, data systems, and emerging technologies continue to transform the creative industries, I want to help build tools that are not only cutting-edge but also equitable, culturally aware and human-centered. I’m especially passionate about ensuring that the traditional and cultural roots of music and art aren’t lost in this rapid digital evolution. Technology should serve as a bridge. To make creativity more accessible, discoverable, and connected, all while honoring the rich histories behind it.

Through thoughtful systems design and data-driven innovation, we have the opportunity to expand who gets to create, be seen, and be heard across geographies, cultures, and languages. Music is a reflection of who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going, and I’d love to be part of a team building toward that future, together.
