Hi, I'm Matthew Yao

I spend most of my time these days building my AI edtech startup Solomon AI while trying to lead an exciting and fulfilling life. Outside of work, this is what my day-to-day looks like: *updated 22 Apr 2025

- Quality time with family, friends, and my Maltese dog Joey

- Consuming information (reading & watching)

- Consolidating information (writing in my journal)

- Drinking different coffee blends to fuel my day

- Savouring different cigar blends

- Latin social dancing (bachata & kizomba)

- Practising my golf swing

On a more global level, here are my priorities:

- Spiritual growth, studying the Bible

- Doing great work in every project I undertake

- Sleeping 8+ hours a night

- Learning new things

- Travelling, having new experiences, and meeting cool people

I document my journey by tweeting here, posting BTS footage of my life on Instagram here, and making YouTube videos here.

But beneath it all, I live by a deeper code.

A life of clarity, responsibility, and eternal impact. I’ve buried my mother. I’ve walked with an addicted brother. I carry weight, and I’m training to carry more.
