Desmond Wu

Desmond Wu covers technology, innovation, and the future of work from the Pacific Northwest, where he’s been a fixture in the startup ecosystem for over a decade. Before turning to journalism, he co-founded a SaaS company and later worked in product management at a major cloud provider. Now based in Bellevue, Washington, Desmond writes about AI, cloud computing, and digital transformation with the hard-won perspective of someone who’s built and shipped software. His work for Silver Journal avoids hype, focusing instead on the practical implications of emerging tech for business leaders and end users. He holds a computer science degree from the University of Washington and still codes side projects for fun. On weekends, he’s a trail runner and a devoted dad.
