Hi 👋
This is Qin Chen typing from Shanghai. Qin is pronounced as keen, as in I'm very keen to meet you.
I have worked as a reporter in China and the U.S. for most of my career, and in the recent year, I left media for commercial tech content.
From 2019 to 2023, I was the Managing Editor at the Chinese tech trade publication TechNode, helping readers around the world understand major moves and trends in China's tech sector. Before that, I was a reporter at Inkstone, a China-focused news app within the South China Morning Post. I spent two years helping English readers interpret major events and policies in China.
Previously, I worked for five years in US media companies. I was a senior video producer at The New Yorker, a documentary producer at CNBC, and a front-end designer at the San Jose Mercury News.
I'm born and raised in Shanghai and studied at Sichuan University and the University of Miami. When I'm not working, I read, meditate, play basketball, and enjoy street photography. She/her.
