AboutMission & Team

You are at Seravia because…?I am surrounded by extraordinary talent united by a creatively intelligent enterprise at the forefront of hybridizing Web 2.0 and Enterprise Software. Nowhere else will you see lawyers learn to code in Ruby and engineers learn corporate law - in English AND Chinese. We learn to create and create to learn, and our goal is to make it easier for everyone in the world to create and innovate.

What film or video would you not mind watching 20 times?Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, just to see the Smooth Criminal music video over and over because it is so damn awesome.

If you had a superpower, what would it be and why?I’d love to be able to read people from their microexpressions, a la Dr Cal Lightman (of the Lie to Me fame). It’ll be so much fun calling someone’s bluff and seeing them squirm!

Any words of wisdom?It’s called “football” because the sport involves kicking a ball with one’s foot, not carrying a ball in one’s arms, dammit!

You are at Seravia because…?…of the cool people, but especially because of the raddest wackiest TGIF activities like doing Chinese aerobic exercises or blindfolded balloon fighting and rabbit dances. Oh and of course, I like getting to work in new areas of law.

I’d like to buy you a drink. What should I get?Pennywort juice. Despite its gross-sounding name, the drink is absolutely amazing. Pennwort is this really dark green drink that looks like you’re having some weird grass concoction. Unfortunately it’s hard to find, so my goal is to find some seeds and start growing it myself.

If you had a superpower, what would it be and why?I’d be a muscle mimicker. So upon seeing any kungfu moves, gymnastic stunts, ping pong spinning, or Sharapova serves, I’d be able to do them too!
