BIO
I'm building Aidy, a mobile app that helps people better manage chronic health conditions, starting with IBD. Previously I worked on AI and global health at The Rockefeller Foundation, served as a foreign policy fellow in the U.S. Senate, worked as the data director for a victorious Senate campaign, and helped launch a COVID testing lab in Delaware during the pandemic. I studied CS and policy at MIT, where I was named a Truman Scholar and a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship.
