Weiluen

I'm a builder 🔨 disguised as an executive. Studied 💻🔬 in college because I couldn't stop taking things apart. Took a two-year detour into the jungles 🐅🐘 of Southeast Asia with the Peace Corps 🌏 to help people in rural villages. Ask me about it. It was an adventure.

These days, I'm the CTO & CDO at Popeyes 🐔—yes, that Popeyes—where I get to blend my love of building tech with the chaos of feeding millions of people fried chicken.

Before the chicken 🍗, I spent 4 years at RBI as VP of Engineering, where I led teams building:

In past lives, I was in product & eng at Microsoft working on next-gen productivity tools in Office, like Microsoft Teams . And before that I 🌙lighted as a software developer at Gigster. I've also done the consulting thing 👔.

I'm a professional dilettante, a professional popcorn 🍿 eater, and a professional movie 🎥 watcher. Sometimes I drink tea 🍵 and sometimes I try to read the tea leaves, but more than anything, I 💜 crafting great products with great experiences.

I believe the 🔑 to a great experience is mixing a dash of 📊 with a dash of product sense—and maybe a side of spicy chicken.
