About Jerry Chen

Research, Require, Review, Reinvent, Repeat\"(It\'ll all make sense in the end I promise!)- Hi! I\'m Jerry, an incoming Master\'s student in Artificial Intelligence Systems at Carnegie Mellon, and a recent graduate from Business Information Management at UC Irvine. I’ve tackled technical and operational challenges at Disney and Tesla, led student orgs from blockchain to a cappella, and now I’m building a social app focused on spontaneity, real-world connection, and community—starting with basketball. I’m interested in roles at the intersection of AI, entertainment, social platforms, and systems thinking—whether that’s building tools that shape culture or scaling infrastructure that enables it. Let’s connect: j••••••••@gmail.com - My Approach to Problem Solving & Product Management #\"Research\"-> Explore problems, ideas, and use cases; identify opportunities and solutions #\"Require\"-> Extrapolate core user needs; and articulate standards to guide development #\"Review\"-> Analyze roadblocks, performance, and results, ensuring alignment with goals #\"Reinvent\"-> Refine or completely reimagine the approach for better outcomes #\"Repeat\"-> Iteratively improve through execution and repetition - Bonus skills:# Will stay hours past gym closing to practice the shots I missed in pickup games # Can break down complex tech for any audience (do this often for my mom)# Comfortable being the bridge - between creative and technical, idea and execution
