my name is jackie luo. i lead product engineering at zora.

i'm interested in emergent patterns in an increasingly liquid and dematerialized world, shifting paradigms on the distribution and use of power, and the role of accelerating technological change in shaping how we perceive and interact with ourselves and each other. i like thinking about these topics, and more, so ping me if you ever want to talk through them together.

when i have time, i run the dream machine (an erratically published newsletter with essays on technology, society, and identity), irl society (a monthly event series), and the framework project (an interview series with people thinking about tech and its impact on society). less formally, i like to make candles, shoot photography, read, thrift furniture, and cook.

most recently, i co-founded [redacted], a creative project built on decentralized technologies. before that, i led product at driver's seat and wrote code at square and nylas. once upon a time, i studied philosophy at columbia university, ran a fashion and arts publication called ache magazine, and founded a nonprofit called fashion cares.
