Bio

I love building things, big or small, hardware or software - crafting a product people use gives me joy. It's led me to a diverse set of experiences, from founding a hardware-tech startup to forward deployed engineering at Palantir.

Lately, the interactions between our society and technology, on both an individual level and societal level have been of greater interest to me. Outside of tech policy and regulation, I believe there's a lot of scope to better design and build products that help us as a society have more meaningful or enjoyable interactions with technology.
