Professional
I'm the chief of engineering and product at Aware Health, where we're building AI-driven tools and technology that streamline healthcare delivery, enhance clinical outcomes, and improve patient experiences.
As a product-driven and hands-on engineering leader with over a decade of experience building B2B SaaS products and scaling technical teams, I recently pivoted into healthcare to leverage my background and expertise to build impactful technology that meaningfully improves people's lives.
Whether it's a startup with a single engineer to large enterprises with geographically dispersed teams across cultures and time zones, I typically oversee all aspects of engineering including strategy, management, software, data, AI, infrastructure, and technical support.
I enjoy being hands-on and often serve a dual-role as chief architect—actively participating in product design, technical design, software architecture, code reviews, and I still write production code.
Additionally, I'm a technical advisor for a few early-stage companies, and a minor investor in a few others.
Personal
Married, with children. Love cocktails and whisky/whiskey. Huge music fan. Avid road cyclist, but that was before I became a dad. Builder. I like tinkering and creating things. Tend to take my work seriously, so I strive to take myself less seriously as often as I can.
I am a poker player—though there isn't much time for that these days—and I've always appreciated the parallels between poker and real life: reading the table, assessing probabilities, recognizing when you have an edge, and pressing the opportunity. In other words, I'm a betting man.
Two truths and a lie about me:
- Climbed Machu Picchu
- Bartended Shaquille O'Neal's Album Release Party
- Once shared the same PR publicist as Steve-O (of Jackass fame)
I support Black Lives Matter, equity and inclusion, gender pronouns, higher education (does not always mean institutionalized education), youth mentoring, reducing climate change, cleaning up the ocean, decentralized currencies, and Wikipedia—yes, I donate to Wikipedia and encourage you to do so too.
Sometimes I also do a tiny bit of investing, and you may occasionally find me on social media.
How To Reach Me
Best way to reach me is via an intro.
I also read and respond to emails. However, with over 200+ emails received daily across multiple accounts, I'm unable to respond to everyone and will often times miss things.
Many marketing and salesy messages will be filtered out, and emails with incredibly cheeky openers will be visibly ignored (visibly ignored? did that make any sense at all?).
With that said, feel free to give it a go: jay at jay hung dot com.
