About

I'm an undergraduate at MIT studying AI & Decision Making, and I'm deeply passionate about AI tools and the wave of agents reshaping how people build and think. I want to use these tools to better humanity: through education that meets people where they are, richer ways to connect socially, and software that takes friction out of the things that matter.
