Meet the People Behind the Lights
Midway Lighting isn’t just products—it’s a team of people passionate about light.
Leadership Team
Jiaye Chen | Founder & CEO
Former lighting engineer with 15 years of LED R&D experience. Believes great design philosophy is: It’s there, but you don’t notice it—you just feel the atmosphere. Hobby: astrophotography (the ultimate pursuit of light).
Michael David | Chief Product Officer
Formerly with the Philips Hue team, led development of three bestselling smart lighting products. At Midway, he insists that “technology serves experience”—every new feature must pass testing with users aged 50+ to ensure ease of use.
James Ryan | Director of Quality
PhD in Materials Science, established our 72-hour aging test protocol. His motto: “If I wouldn’t use this product at my own daughter’s wedding, it doesn’t leave the factory.”
Jennifer Brown | Head of Customer Success
Brings luxury service standards to e-commerce. Her trained support team can diagnose 90% of issues from customer descriptions alone.
Design & Engineering Team
Our 12-person product team is split between California and Taizhou, averaging 8 years of industry experience. During weekly video calls, California morning sunlight meets Taizhou evening lights through the screen—exactly the inspiration behind our products.
Design Philosophy
- Minimalism: Reduce visual clutter, let the light speak for itself
- Modularity: One part fails? Replace just that part, not the whole string
- Compatibility: New products still pair with controllers from three years ago
