About Jimmy Burhan
My mom once told me a story of when I was five years old. Then, I liked to explore my neighborhood on my blue tricycle. I created friendships with people of all ages from these mini-adventures. I especially liked to visit this old lady who lived a few blocks down because she cooked many kinds of ethnic Batak delicacies. She took care of me like her own child and I learned so much about her culture. Fast forward to today. I have collected many stories of the same theme: from a food adventure in Taipei and a spiritual journey in Puttaparthi to teaching English in Oaxaca and a cross-country road trip to Yellowstone. The trips weren’t always smooth: there were bumps along the way, such as language barriers, road detours, and interpersonal conflicts. These experiences have taught me to rapidly adapt to new environments and to resolve challenges diplomatically. These skills have proved to be foundational to where I am today. I have developed the soft and technical skillsets to be successful in innovative industries. I am trusted by my colleagues to navigate in the world of unknown to build processes from the ground up and run them efficiently. I am proud to be an engine of the rocket ship at Scale AI and Persona. 🚀 Ask me how can I support you and your team!
