Anthony Chen

In his childhood, Anthony began an interest in computers - fixing his own desktop computer, changing others' recorded voicemail greeting messages through loopholes on touch-tone phones, and creating HTML websites on GeoCities. And in his senior year in university, his curiosity led him to experiment on ways to teach web app development in the shortest possible time, within 1 or 2 days, to students without prior computing background from Law School, Business School, and Arts School.

His career as a software engineer budded in the San Francisco Bay Area and has included VC-funded startups (Greylock, Andreessen Horowitz) and high profile unicorn startup companies such as Lyft. Beyond his experiences working on frontend and backend stacks (React, Node, Express, GraphQL) on the job, his interest in startups, app development and computer vision have also led him to win awards from TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco and The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

He also reads Peter Thiel, Dilbert, Edward Bernays, "Steve Jobs" (the book), Paul Graham, and contemplates that there's probably a better startup methodology than the Lean Startup Methodology.
