Hi, I'm Jon Chui!

Howdy friend! I’m so grateful you’ve come to check out my personal Website!

For 10+ years I lived & breathed mobile apps, and was lucky enough to do this at/for Fortune 5, 50,500 & 5000 companies. This ranged from top 10 App Store apps (Google Maps, Gmail, Google search) to social networks for sobriety (Sober Grid). The pressure took it’s toll finally & I followed the “burnout track” and took 6 month sabbatical (that would later turn into almost 3 years). My family & I left the bay with 8 suitcases of all our belongings, and i thought tech would only be in my rear view mirror…

I exchanged the standup desks & nap pods of silicon valley to serve families in the slums of Philippines & Cambodia. To my utter surprise and delight though, these families were happier than I was. Something was missing?

I then started my dream… a tech agency for good. But more than a tech agency, it was a community that would train ppl from around the world, driven by values of inclusion, learning, togetherness, belonging… And we’d use the power & resources of tech to bring this about!

Now, after doing that for 2 years (selling $600k of revenue, training people who have never done tech, hiring, firing, & learning all about my blind spots!), I’m not jumping back into industry to do this back in the private sector, with the resources of a bigger company! 😉

Idea validation

Have a MIT New Ventures Design Bootcamp Certification. Learned from alot of mistakes ( Inbox by Gmail, 10+ apps for clients that never went anywhere). At Wonder And Wander.io, we help clients test out & iterate ideas as fast as possible w/ real users

Product management

As a microsoft PM early in my career, technology/coding to me was simply a means to an end – to build a great PRODUCT that ppl actually use. Great products are a delight to use. They are anchored in solving a clear pain point that i have – and other products just don’t full solve it

Technology and tools

With 15+ years of engineering experience from Google -> Startups, I love using tech/tools to make ppl’s lives easier. Some ex: – building a flutter ios/android app with push notifications/onesignal, native google & apple signing, doing the entire app store/google play process, marketing, and into production in 3 weeks. (when team estimated 3-6 months)

WHAT PEOPLES SAY

Jon was very helpful. He gave me great advice on how to achieve product market fit, how to better understand our users and how to offer them tangible value. I really appreciate the time he dedicated to understanding my business and put himself in my shoes. Thanks again Jon!

I highly recommend Jon as a mentor! He was well prepared for our call and brought a truly unique perspective from being an engineer at Google to starting his own company. Whether you're looking to climb the corporate ladder or start the SAAS company of your dreams, schedule a call with Jon! You won't regret it.

Jon was instrumental in being able to provide value by seeing our business through the eyes of a customer; he was able to quickly grasp our value proposition and provide much needed advice as a result - based on his Silicon Valley experiences. I appreciate the time he took to check out our services before our call and look forward to speaking with him again in the future. Thanks Jon, 5 stars!
