CEO 創辦人/ Yo-Kai Express

Andy Lin is a passionate entrepreneur, quick learner, and sports enthusiast. He graduated from National Taiwan University with a degree in Bio-Industrial Mechatronics Engineering, where he focused on food manufacturing and the structural changes of ingredients during thermal cycling. He later earned a master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California, Irvine, specializing in automation, semiconductor manufacturing, and system integration.

In 2006, he joined ASE, the world's largest semiconductor packaging and testing company, as an application engineer. After gaining 3.5 years of experience in process and material characteristics, he transitioned to the business department to develop skills in operations, business planning, and negotiation. His first startup, Sholics, developed a last-mile grocery delivery system that laid the groundwork for the logistics of his future company, Yo-Kai Express.

Observing the lack of dining options in the U.S. during off-peak hours, he founded Yo-Kai Express. The company uses a smart automated system to provide 24/7 instant hot food, a service that has been well-received by the market. He also actively helps other startups, sharing his entrepreneurial experience and strategies to help them avoid common pitfalls.
