Hey there! I'm Jason Siu (蕭正源) — an IT Consultant. I also previously worked as a AI researcher at Monash University in Australia, supervised by Chunyang Chen, Jieshan Chen, and Yujing Huang; my research has focused on AI and enhancing UX — Human-AI Interaction. I like analysing data, coding scripts, and chatting with users to learn more about how technology can make their lives even more awesome. But really - beyond that, I just strive to embody the principles of OODA — observe, orient, decide, and act - in all aspects of my life.

It took me a long while with consistent effort to achieve my goal.

And throughout those years, I am grateful for meeting people who have generously shared what they learnt and their journeys, and helped me get through the darkest and brightest period of my time.

Stay Hungry, Stay Childish.

Philosophy

I have dabbled a lot. Some might say it is a bad signal because it means that I am everywhere but also nowhere.

I disagree. As a 20-year-old, being everywhere is literally the best signal ever.

It shows I'm an intellectually curious hustler. And this blog is one of the ways I connect with other curious minds.

People in their 20s like me should make use of optionality, take asymmetric bets and eat risks for lunch.

Avoid climbing to the peak of "Mount Stupid" because we don't know what we don't know; that's why I read voraciously and think again.
