I came to the US in 2000.

I did my PhD in distributed system computer science, especially focused on databases.

And databases is a very concept system to build, a lot of different objectives to optimize for.

And pretty much touched, after I joined research lab, I pretty much touched every single aspect of processing data.

And then I moved to LinkedIn to kind of further it down to build systems and products to be used to drive real impact.

At that time, I feel I'm ready to start a company.

I know all the tech.

I know what product to build.

I have a business proposal.

I have a list of people I want to start a company with.

And I spent time thinking about it and I paused because I don't think I have the skill set on people to build a company.

It's not just about product.

It's not just about tech.

It's actually about people.

And I decided I want to go to a place I can learn the most of people.

And the best company at that time is Facebook.

It's a rising star in Silicon Valley.

And secretly, I was planning to learn for one year and leave and go back to do my own business.

I stayed there for seven years.

That's a really good question.
