about me
currently
Enjoying summer break, and reading + writing !
I'm taking time to choose what to work on next (as I have before, and surely will again). I'm open to all problem spaces, but for now I know these things:
- I love creating and building. Only recently did I realize it's the same sense of wonder that draws me to art, LEGOs, and code.
- For better or worse , I want to work on really hard technical problems.
- I love collaboration and the exchange of guidance and mentorship. Few things feel more beautiful.
More than ever before, the difference between meaningful work and wasted motion lies in choosing the right problems. I hope to pick well.

Co-founder @ Hazel

occasionally
To keep my inner child happy, I also spend time playing basketball, learning Krav Maga + Muay Thai, drawing, and building Star Wars LEGOs. I have two silly German Sheperds and one yellow lab who I love very much.
