BIO
I studied C.S. at Cornell and graduated Summa Cum Laude. I built my first voice apps for AR glasses in high school (an emotional support tool for people with autism). In college, I spent summers as the first engineer at YC startups, building conversational and voice AI platforms for therapy. I've done HCI research at Cornell and have been supported by several fellowships (8VC Fellowship, Kessler Fellowship).
