Welcome to my personal space! My name is JiaJie, and this is where I share my passions, experiences, and aspirations.

Join me on my journey through life as I explore new ideas, embrace creativity, and pursue personal growth

For 2.5 years I had worked on a startup called Rockset, Inc., it was later acquired by OpenAI, Inc.

Careful consideration and negotiation with the new potential employer had been conducted and I have decided to take a career break instead.

Follow me as I embark on this journey, discovering new horizons with each stride

It is also my passion to extend my knowledge and privilege in hope to improve someone else’ life.

For that, I highly recommend anyone who has the ability to volunteer for the last miles, a non-profit organization dedicated to prepare incarcerated individuals for successful reentry through business and technology training.
