Hi, I'm Ting
On a journey to get 1% better every day, and hopefully scale that progress beyond myself.
Engineer, builder, and relentless optimizer. I grew up in my family's restaurant in Buffalo, NY, where I learned early that the right systems make everything better (and running a restaurant is really hard). That instinct led me to mechanical engineering at Yale, where I fell in love with first principles thinking and building from scratch.
Today I'm the CEO and co-founder of Lenny, where we're empowering a new way to educate students.
I write about my work, philosophy, and reflections from my life.
