About

Hey, Welcome to The Trend Rider!

This blog built on a simple belief: Where trends flow, fortune grows.

This isn’t about hype or get-rich-quick schemes. It’s about being observant, connecting the dots, and positioning yourself to ride the waves of change instead of being knocked over by them. Here, I’ll be sharing what I see from my vantage point.

What You’ll Find Here

Think of this as my public journal—a place where I document my explorations and learnings. You can expect to find:

• My unfiltered thoughts: Real stories, lessons learned (especially the hard ones), and personal insights from my journey in tech.
• Product deep dives: My honest observations on products I use, admire, or just find fascinating. What makes them work? Where are they heading?
• Navigating the currents: My explorations and analysis in the worlds of Web3, Web2, user growth, and data analysis.

A Little About Me

So, who’s the rider behind the keyboard?

My journey in the tech world spans over 15 years, starting with a deep passion for coding. For 8 of those years, I was deep in the startup trenches, building companies from the ground up and learning more than any textbook could teach me. Along the way, I also had the privilege of leading and managing incredible teams for 5 years.

After wrapping up my last startup adventure, I decided it was time to change my pace. To be more present for my family, I embarked on a new chapter as an indie developer. It’s a journey of building, learning, and finding a new kind of “flow”—both in work and in life.

This blog is a part of that journey.

Let’s Connect

This is not a one-way street. I’m here to share, but I’m also here to learn from you. If anything I write sparks an idea, a question, or even a healthy disagreement, I’d love to hear about it.

Feel free to drop me an email at [christozhou@gmail.com].

Let’s ride the trends together.

Cheers
