Hey, I'm Kevon Cheung!
I'm now based in Hong Kong after spending some time in Boston and Singapore. I love building products, creating content, and helping people. Recently, I've also become a proud new dad with a baby girl #GirlDad.

My love for creating software started when I was 12. I built a number of websites that attracted hundreds of thousands of users. Since then, I've been starting and advising tech ventures.
I started my career as a Software Engineer in Singapore. Then I spent 4 years at First Code Academy, a leading technology education company offering coding programs for kids aged 4 to 18 years old across Asia. When I joined First Code, we had 5 people in Hong Kong and by the time I left my role as COO, we had scaled to 4 countries with 35 full-time and 50 part-time.
Recently, I was the co-founder and CEO of Toasty, a video collaboration platform making video meetings and gatherings more interactive.
My strengths are connecting with people, crafting content, driving product growth, and building systems and workflows.
📚 Enabling: learning potentials for adults or kids
🔨 Enabling: building products and productivity
🎥 Enabling: expression through video
⭐ My life motto: "Comfort is the enemy of growth." It is even framed on my wall!
👍 I enjoy: Be humble & respect everyone, be transparent #BuildInPublic, develop people, focus on sustainable growth, and nurture a learning culture
👎 Not my cup of tea: Have too much ego, self-centered and short-sighted, and lack of teamplay
🌳 When I'm not building: you can find me spending time with my family, reading on Kindle, running or cycling outdoors, or looking at trees with calm music.
👕 I like to wear plain t-shirts or shirts to reduce decision fatigue.
🥑 I like chicken breast and the raw taste of food.
🏠 I like everything household, including cleaning dishes and tidying.
I occasionally share my thoughts over video chats, podcasts, or at live events. Click here to see more.
