Hi,

I'm working on AI systems that push the frontiers of technology and science forward, and improve how we live, work, and discover. Outside of work, I enjoy running, hiking, and skiing outdoors, along with creative outlets like cooking and design. I also like studying economics, science, philosophy, and how it all connects. If you're working on something interesting, let's connect.

Graduating from Northeastern University in December 2026.
