Daphne Poon

Hi! My name is Daphne, and I was born and raised in Hong Kong before coming to the US for college. I’m my happiest when I get to work on cool robots, and I’m especially excited about solving problems around community and urbanism. I strive to better the world through my work.

I studied Computer Science and Math at Harvey Mudd College, and since then I’ve worked at Waymo, helping self-driving cars make better lane changes. Along the way, I’ve bounced around San Francisco, London, and finally New York City, where I now live with my husband :)

In my free time, I enjoy baking, climbing, reading, and hosting friends in my tiny NYC apartment.
