Jason grew up in Hong Kong taking apart gadgets and building his own—most memorably a fully functioning Iron Man helmet replica. That early obsession with hardware stuck.

He's now the Founding Hardware Engineer at Neuma, a neural interface startup in New York City. There, Jason leads the development of multimodal sensing earbuds designed to connect users seamlessly to AI-powered agents. He drives the entire hardware stack—from electrical design and embedded firmware to rapid prototyping and ergonomic mechanical design. Within eight months, he built three fully integrated prototype generations that powered real-time, end-to-end neural speech decoding demos for investors.

Previously, Jason was an Electrical Design Engineer at Tomorrow Lab, where he helped launch first-of-their-kind consumer devices for brands like IMAX, Citizen, and DigiKey. Notably, he developed the control system for the Richualist Mint—a motorized, heat-controlled styling wand featured on Shark Tank. His work also contributed to Belay MedLocker, an internet-connected emergency medication system, and MFTS SaltStone, a patented wellness device.

Jason holds a Master's from NYU's ITP program, where he focused on electronics and human-computer interaction.

He's an evangelist of "expert generalism"—the idea that innovation often comes from breaking down knowledge into its fundamental principles and applying them across disciplines. By blending fabrication, code, and interface design, Jason builds hardware that feels like magic and works like clockwork.
