Hi!
I'm Kankon - Singaporean, New York-based, and perpetually thinking about tech, policy, and the economics of platforms. This is my corner of the internet: I write about AI and platform governance, catalogue everything I build - from policy research to data models and AI tools, and log an embarrassing number of thrillers along the way.
