Casey Wilson

I'm currently a full-stack web developer using a combination of CSS3, HTML5, Javascript, Angular.js, and Ruby on Rails.

Before transitioning into coding, I lived in Beijing for 5+ years, where I co-founded China's first person-to-person microfinance platform, called Wokai. Over the 5 years that I ran Wokai, we took the organization from an idea to a live platform with 3,000 contributors financing around 1,000 rural poor to start their own businesses. I led a passionate core team in Beijing as well as 350 volunteers in our 20 Chapter cities in Asia and North America. I was lucky enough to be recognized as the Most Influential Foreigner in China in 2010 by China Newsweek and one of the 100 highest potential social entrepreneurs in Asia under 30 by the Foundation for Youth Social Entrepreneurship in 2009. Here are some links to interviews in CNN, CBS, Bloomberg, and Phoenix TV where you can see me evangelizing Wokai in English and Chinese.
