“Hao is probably the craziest person I know, but for the work I have done with him I mean that in the best possible way. Hao is incredibly driven and will iterate on a problem until he the solution lives up to his standards. Hao thinks incredibly big, and is not afraid of taking risks when the potential payoff is great enough. The work we did together was incredible, and I will always remember those crazy days.”
