Hi, I’m Shan. I’m an engineer, entrepreneur, writer, and photographer.

I build systems, companies, and things I’m curious about.

I’ve built large-scale systems at Google, Meta, and LinkedIn and helped Silicon Valley AI startups grow from zero to production. Outside the org chart, I write, photograph, travel, and turn curiosity into products, tools, and games.
