about

I'm primarily a technical builder and enjoy working on creative projects. My academic background is in applied math and systems programming, with splashes of philosophy, hardware design, and psychology.

I spend a lot of time thinking about crafting tight-knit communities for builders. I'm a venture partner at Contrary and help organize Friends and Family.

In my free time, I enjoy tearing apart longform essays, practicing photography, playing ultimate frisbee, and defying gravity (by lifting heavy weights).

If you're interested in any freelance/consulting work from my end, send me an email.
