Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCindy Wu is a ten-year startup builder and engineer who has repeatedly turned early ideas into working products since her YC W13 beginnings. She blends hands-on software craftsmanship with founder instincts—co-founding Experiment and Jelly PBC and now contributing to Vercel while deepening her craft at the Recurse Center. Cindy looks for teams that communicate clearly, ship polished UIs, and have real product-market fit, and she prefers roles that start as an individual contributor with pathways into engineering leadership or product. Her background in cellular and molecular biology and hands-on lab science gives her a unique perspective on building tooling that helps amateurs achieve professional-quality results. Based in Honolulu, she’s explicitly selective—avoiding mainstream AI and web3 except for particular, principled uses like decentralized storage or governance—and is open to relocation for the right cultural and technical fit.
