About

I'm Kaden — 17, from Hong Kong, currently living in Vancouver and finishing high school. I spend most of my time building things, doing research, and writing about whatever I'm learning that week.

Between 15 and 17, I interned at Singularity Health, an AI healthcare startup, and in the e-business department of UOB Kay Hian, an Asian investment bank. The first taught me what it actually looks like to ship AI in a regulated industry; the second taught me how slow large institutions move and why that's not always a bad thing.

Last year I built PAC-Dose — a research project tackling desalination-plant barriers through an automatic coagulant-dosing system. I went deep on water treatment chemistry and ended up with a working prototype I'm pretty proud of.

Earlier this year I coded Consensus, a dashboard that uses Cerebras for massively parallel agent execution in drug discovery. It's the kind of project I love — small team, big compute, real problem.

Right now I'm researching harmful algal blooms and continuing to work on desalination. I'm interested in the parts of science that show up in real infrastructure — water, energy, health — and how AI can quietly make any of those better.

Outside of work I read a lot about astrophysics and philosophy. I write occasionally on Substack and I'm planning to launch a podcast soon — long conversations with people who actually know what they're talking about. But after all — what do I really know?
