BIO
Co-Founder @ MochaCare | Masters in CS @ UIUC - AI Agents @ GoDaddy - ML Research Fellow @ UCSB - SWE @ DecisionMinds I spent eight years doing companion care for neurodiverse people and worked with US Congress to support legislation in the space. My grandparents also played a big role in my life (my grandpa taught me the times table). Now I'm building MochaCare — the AI-native management service that supports care organizations that support older folks and neurodiverse people.
