Hi, my name is June Lin. *waves vigorously and trips on something*
I was born in the states, Austin, Texas specifically, but I still have remnants of Asian culture and language in me. During my early years, I had some mishaps electrocuting myself by sticking a key in a power outlet and adventures riding around on elephants. In high school, I was in the International Baccalaureate program where I dreamed of ruling the world with the likes of Napoleon, Bismarck, and Stalin (not really as fancy as it sounds, more like…. obtaining a caffeine addiction and learning how to use big words, interdisciplinary confluence of knowledge, and all that). My extended essay was in psychology about how language and culture influence perception of self.
After I turned 18, I moved 20 minutes away to downtown Austin to attend the University of Texas at Austin. In college, I was in the Business Honors Program at the McCombs School of Business. I studied finance and operations engineering as part of the Engineering Route to Business program. On the academic side, I have done research in financial portfolio optimization using operations research models. I’ve also done internships and jobs in various industries *yawn* you can read about my special skills and things I will do for money here. I am adept at useless things like navigating Excel without a mouse and making financial models for basically anything.
I love coding and making things better… not the actual process of writing code, but making logic to create something that does things for me. Funny thing is, I haven’t actually coded in like… two years? I like efficiency and hate wasting time doing repetitive tasks. Thus, code. Um hello? I’m the girl who once calculated the NPV from the productivity loss of “how was your weekend?” at work. But then there are things like goodwill, camaraderie, and all those “intangibles.” Don’t worry, though, I’ll find a way to make everything tangible.
I like to read non-fiction books but have an ever-growing backlog on things I should read. Why haven’t we gained the ability to acquire knowledge through osmosis yet? Someone please invent it. Also, teleportation is next on my wishlist… and then an orgasm pill, but I think they already have pills that have similar effects, or something. I also like foreign films and documentaries, especially biographies, because I am curious about everything. I prefer auto-biographies in written form, though. My diet consists of tea, wine, baked goods, amongst other things that power me with vitamins and minerals. I also have an unhealthy addiction to scarves, head-wear, lace, ruffles, tights, and fancy footwear.
Subjects of interest are: economics, psychology, business strategy, sociology (women’s issues, sexuality, culture, etc), design (interior, web, fashion), and modern art.
I am now living in Menlo Park, CA working on a non-profit startup with truly amazing people at Stanford and back home in Austin… and at a Fortune 500 technology company. I’m interested in meeting everyone! Please feel free to contact me at mail [at] junelin [dot] com or through various places on the interwebs.
