About

Hello, My name is Chao Wu (伍超 in Chinese). I'm a software engineer and founder based in San Diego, California.

Work

My current focus is on building AI startups and doing consulting in AI.

Before, I was a co-founder of the mobile game studio Redemption Games. I led engineering and product there for several games. Our most successful game Sweet Escapes grossed over eight figures annually. We were acquired by AppLovin in 2020.

Engineer by trade, I've worked with lots of technologies such as embedded software, web dev, mobile games, and AI. I am technology-agnostics and enjoying learning new tech. But most importantly, I love using tech to build things people want.

Education

I earned a dual Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and Mathematics from Beihang University in China. After that, I moved to the U.S. to pursue my Master's degree in Computer Science from Purdue University.

Hobbies

Music has always been a big part of my life; I started playing the piano at 6 and took up guitar in college. My favorite genres are classic rock and blues.

I love outdoor sports, especially surfing and snowboarding. Recently, I've started training for marathon.

Reading is another way I like to spend my leisure time. My favorite book genres are biographies, sci-fi novels and business.

I'm also a car enthusiast and Porsche fanboy.
