About Amy X. Chen
Passionate about architecture, urban planning, climate resilience, data and AI, I work at the intersection of policy, technology, and urbanism to create sustainable and intelligent cities. With experience across New Zealand, China, Spain, France, and the U.S, I bring a global lens to complex challenges like AI governance, pandemic prevention/preparedness, global poverty and health, and economic inequality. I am especially suited for roles that demand adaptability, fairness, and strategic focus. Let’s connect!
