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.
Now I'm spending most of my time on Public Lab, helping entrepreneurs grow an audience with their authentic online voices.
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.
