Senior🎓
Top SchoolEthan Teng is a founder and solo builder with eight years of product and growth experience, now running Ask Linc, an AI-powered, privacy-first financial analyst in private beta. He combines hands-on engineering (including C++ contributions to the BOINC volunteer computing project) with proven PLG playbooks developed at Postman, Recurly, and meez to turn early traction into scalable self-serve revenue. Ethan has repeatedly redesigned onboarding, activation, and PQL systems—driving measurable lifts like 50% activation and multi-million-dollar self-serve revenue growth—while also building the instrumentation and automation to sustain them. Based in Oakland and trained in CS at Stanford with blockchain/business coursework from Haas, he blends technical depth with GTM rigor and a preference for building rather than managing.

Contributions summary:Ethan primarily focused on enhancing the advanced view for tasks within the BOINC project. Their contributions involved adding an "Estimated Completion" column to the task display, which required modifications to the C++ code in `clientgui/ViewWork.cpp`. The user also added a time conversion function and updated the `MainDocument.cpp` and `ViewWork.h` files to support the new functionality. Furthermore, the user refined the display of estimated completion times, ensuring it accurately reflects task status and current running state, and resolved merge conflicts.
