My starting point is not technology — it is order.
Fifteen years of theological training taught me to ask one question: amid chaos and acceleration, what kind of structure can truly bear meaning? That question led me out of seminary and into entrepreneurship — not because I abandoned faith, but because I wanted to test in the real world whether order and ethics can be rebuilt.
From the formation of startup ecosystems, to the restructuring of food-agriculture supply chains, to sustainable architecture and spatial practice — I spent over a decade understanding that systemic regeneration is never merely a technical problem. It is the building of trust and responsibility. To bear the risk of transformation is to participate in the shaping of a new order.
My current work spans cross-border industry collaboration between Taiwan and Japan, and building CircleFlow as a data infrastructure for the circular economy. As AI rapidly becomes part of our foundational infrastructure, technology is redefining the scale of capability and decision-making.
Technology itself has no intent, but the logic of efficiency, left unchecked, tends to compress the space for human judgment and responsibility. What I care about is not how fast technology can move, but whether people can still retain dignity and agency amid the acceleration.

Early-stage entrepreneurship and business operations.
Education & Training
Scientific training background, developing evidence-based thinking and systematic analytical skills.
Biochemistry research training.
Starting from theological reflection, I spent years asking: How does order come into being? How should human nature be understood? How are power and redemption narrated? This period established textual interpretation skills, logical reasoning frameworks, and ethical judgment criteria — forming the foundational thinking architecture for later work across technology, economics, and civilizational issues.
Focusing on how AI reshapes economic structures, governance models, and the value order of humanity. Combining circular economy practice with cross-domain industry perspectives to explore the deep tensions and possible pathways between technological evolution and civilizational transformation.
Intelligence & Order
When machines begin to participate in judgment, how do we rearrange the order between humans and technology
Recycle & Reuse
Materials deserve more than one life. From urban mining to institutional design, rebuilding the order of resource flows
Civilization & Human Nature
In the torrent of efficiency, what makes us human. A continuing inquiry from theology to social critique
Creation & Enterprise
Entrepreneurship is not just building products — it is building order in the real world. Trust, risk, and the distillation of methodology
Reflections & Memory
The things that cannot be quantified yet define a person. Reading, memory, and the weight of a life
