Kai Lin Cort

Professional Highlights

‍

Kai Lin studied data science for public policy research at NYU and Columbia, and graduate-level computer science at the University of Pennsylvania. She enjoys learning new languages, and is an avid keeper of streaks on DuoLingo.

‍

For the past three years, she's served on the board of Change Food for Good (formerly Urban Wild), working on teaching tech and agricultural skills, building an aquaponics program in a high school in Brooklyn, and workforce development for underserved youth through AgTech and urban permaculture.

Outside of Work

‍

In her free time, Kai Lin enjoys planting fruit trees with the Denver Food Forestry program. She loves growing her own food, and cooking, with skills she's learned from her mom and dad, who are descendants of many generations of farmers in Hangzhou, China. She also collects broken musical instruments and enjoys fixing and making music on analog synthesizers, which she endeavors to patch up at DenHac, the oldest (and coolest) hackerspace in Denver.
