Kelvin, our COO at MediConCen, was recently profiled in a City University of Hong Kong Alumni Story — a feature that traces his path from engineering student to insurtech leader. The article offers a closer look at how his academic foundation and early curiosity evolved into a career focused on solving real-world challenges through technology.
A Technical Foundation with Entrepreneurial Roots
Kelvin’s interest in technology began with a desire to understand how things work — a mindset that led him to study Electronic and Communication Engineering at CityU. The university’s emphasis on both theory and hands-on learning helped shape his approach to problem-solving and innovation.
During his time at CityU, Kelvin was already exploring ways to apply tech to practical issues. That early drive laid the groundwork for what would eventually become MediConCen.
Bridging Technology and Insurance
After graduation, Kelvin gained experience in the finance sector before co-founding MediConCen in 2018. The company was built around a clear goal: to streamline insurance claims through automation and transparency. By integrating blockchain (Hyperledger), AI, and OCR technologies, MediConCen developed a platform that significantly reduces processing time and operational overhead — improving the experience for both insurers and customers.
Recognition and Community Engagement
Kelvin’s work has earned recognition across the region, including being named the Fifth Outstanding Young Entrepreneur of the Greater Bay Area in 2024. He also contributes to the startup ecosystem by mentoring aspiring founders through CityU’s HK Tech 300 programme, sharing insights from his own journey.
A Culture of Applied Innovation
Kelvin’s story, as featured by CityU, reflects the values that drive MediConCen: curiosity, purpose, and a commitment to solving meaningful problems with technology. His journey continues to shape how we build solutions that matter — not just for the insurance industry, but for the broader digital economy.
