Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Chong is a Toronto-based technology leader and entrepreneur with eight years of experience building developer-facing and consumer products, currently serving as Co-Founder & CTO of Mecka AI after co-founding Utopia Labs and leading its acquisition by Coinbase. He brings a full-stack engineering background from Microsoft and Coinbase, pairing product intuition with hands-on implementation of APIs and UI components—evidenced by meaningful contributions to the widely used microsoft-teams-library-js (calendar, mail, chat, files, and meeting features). A UBC graduate in combined Business and Computer Science, Jason blends strategic business thinking with technical execution to ship production-grade systems and accelerate go-to-market motion. Notably, he oscillates between deep engineering work and company-building, making him as comfortable refactoring libraries as steering technical strategy for early-stage AI products.
