Hi there, I'm Ernest

I'm currently at UC Berkeley, studying product management, design, & AI, while building products that feel intuitive from the first interaction and solve problems with clarity.

I care deeply about craft: the kind that makes you pause and think,  “wow, someone actually thought about this.” I get unreasonably excited about delightful product experiences, and believe the best products feel like they were made by someone who actually uses them.

Outside of product work, I love hiking, traveling (mostly to grow my collection of fridge magnets from 12 countries), watching soccer & Formula 1, and chasing the golden hour with my camera.

I'd love to hear from you, so we can do hard things together: emakaika@berkeley.edu
