About Chun
Hi, I'm Chun. Two decades building products in markets where the standard playbook fails. Now I build AI products for those same markets. That's where my focus lives.
Building for Scale
My career began in automotive, designing vehicles at General Motors and Daihatsu built for 10-year global lifecycles. I moved into high-stakes software, building fintech and insurance products at Polymath Ventures and Fi Life, then steered product design at Carsome through its first year of profitability and hyper-growth. Across every industry, I've chased one core challenge: designing resilient systems that thrive under the pressure of the real world.
Head of Product, Tupai.ai
I recently joined Tupai.ai as Head of Product, building an AI-powered maths tutor and peer-learning community for students across Malaysia. It's a new domain, but the same core challenge: designing systems that build real understanding, not just give answers.

Brands I've Built With
Outside Work
I travel the world with my wife, though I spend most of my mental energy on one question: where does AI actually remove friction, and where is it just performing a magic trick? The gap between the two is where most products fail.
I explore this in Navigable, my Substack on product thinking for markets that don't follow the script.
