BIO
Co-Founder and CEO, Channel3 (S25). I started coding at 9 and launched my first company at 12. Studied Computer Science and Psychology at Duke, where George (Channel3 CTO) and I worked together for years and even founded a startup together. Worked as a PM at Microsoft, then reneged my return offer to lead AI projects at Studio.com, where I discovered this pain point and set out to solve it. Fun fact: My twin brother and I auditioned for MasterChef Junior.
