I am a full-stack software engineer based out of NYC. Most recently, I've been tinkering around in AI × life sciences.

Previously, I:

  • 💻was an early engineer at Merge, where I built and scaled Merge's core distributed syncing engine
  • 🤖was an early-ish engineer at Asana, where I built product features across web, mobile, and our API
  • 📚studied computer science and statistics at Harvard, where I was a top teaching fellow for CS50 and interned at Biogen and Microsoft
  • 🧬researched inflammatory pathways involved in frontotemporal dementia at UT Southwestern

My hobbies include teaching, racket sports, hiking, reading, history, and new languages.
