What people say

Bhavin Asher

Founder & CTO · GRUBBRR

Lawrence joined GRUBBRR last September and very quickly earned the team's trust. In his first month he built our Square POS SMB onboarding application on the kiosk end to end and presented it company wide, and since then he has driven our Smart Upsells work and built agentic automation workflows using OpenClaw, which powers much of our QA, bug fixing, marketing, and development. What stands out most is how he has shifted our default toward AI first across nearly every process we touch, and he has done it by sitting down 1:1 with teammates to help them build their own trust with AI along the way. He pairs real technical depth with humility and a steady, friendly attitude, and any team would be glad to have him.

Jayna Tortora

Business Owner / Investor · Tutora

Lawrence worked for Tutora for several years, during which he's contributed meaningfully across both instructional and operational areas. He has served as a Computer Science tutor, Math tutor, ACT Math tutor, and AI Product Consultant. His teaching spans foundational algebra to advanced Java and data structures, and he consistently delivers lessons that are clear, patient, and adaptable to each student's needs. On the operational side, Lawrence helped improve our internal systems by connecting the tools we already used—Zoom, Google Suite, and WhatsApp—with automation solutions he built using App Scripts, Otter.ai, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Dola. These tools were designed to streamline invoicing, scheduling, scoring, and tutor coordination. While not all of them are fully implemented yet, we've already seen the value they can bring in reducing manual effort and improving consistency. He also developed over 100 custom TI-BASIC calculator programs that continue to be valuable for our students preparing for standardized tests. His work has shown how AI and automation can be practically and effectively applied in an education setting, both to enhance the student experience and to support day-to-day operations. Lawrence approaches challenges with care, technical skill, and a strong sense of ownership. He takes time to understand problems before proposing solutions and ensures anything he builds is both usable and sustainable. Whether supporting students, improving workflows, or introducing new tools, he brings structure, thoughtfulness, and follow-through. His contributions continue to enhance our tutoring offerings and infrastructure.

Casey Justus

Director - Strategic Sourcing · Bath & Body Works

I had the pleasure of working with Lawrence when he supported our team at Bath & Body Works during a project with Kearney. Lawrence approached every conversation with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a strong technical foundation that helped bridge the gap between strategy and implementation. He quickly established himself as a team leader through our direct interactions. He took the time to understand our sourcing challenges and worked closely with us to shape an AI-driven supplier evaluation approach. What stood out was his ability to clearly explain what the solution could (and couldn't) do — helping our team feel confident in what we were building together. Lawrence was collaborative, thoughtful, and always willing to roll up his sleeves to get things right. I truly enjoyed working with him and look forward to seeing all that he accomplishes next.

JJ Xu

Founder & CEO · TalkMeUp

I had the pleasure of mentoring Lawrence during his time in my Lean Entrepreneurship course, where he developed the first version of Expired Solutions. From the start, Lawrence approached every challenge with curiosity, grit, and a clear desire to create something meaningful. He combined his technical background with a strong product mindset, conducting thoughtful customer discovery and iterating quickly based on feedback. What started as a class project got quickly evolved into a finalist in a venture competition. I'm excited to see where he goes next.

Wendy Williams

IT Director · University of Florida

Lawrence Hua was one of my top System Administrators I've had over the last 14 years. He is a conscientious worker and was ready to take on any task I gave him. We have a smaller IT department so we are asked to do many diverse tasks, Lawrence was wonderful in determining what needed to be done and taking on the responsibility of completing the various projects. Lawrence has a very pleasant demeanor and got along well with all the office staff and administration. He was well liked and is missed by everyone. Lawrence is a well spoken, intelligent and hard working individual and he will serve whomever he works for well.

Shyam Sundar

Android Frameworks Engineer · Motorola Solutions

Over this past summer, I was Lawrence's Mentor during his Android Software Developer Internship. He always starts the day with "Happy (that)day!" which shows his enthusiasm and energy, he exhibited great skills with his ability to solve complex issues on the front-end, dedication to stay motivated even through a fully online program and adapt to Motorola's technology quickly. He always went the extra mile to ensure all tasks assigned were done to the best of his ability. My time mentoring him was well complemented by his technical ability, hard work, and enthusiasm.
