Science was my first love, I spent my early career in labs, studying plague bacteria, publishing research on amphibian evolutionary biology, and working as a microbiologist in beer, health, and even bioterrorism. But under the surface, I craved something else: a way to create, express, and connect. So in 2020, I taught myself to code. What started as a skill quickly became a calling. I discovered the beauty of clean design, the joy of functional systems, and the thrill of turning ideas into real tools.

Today, I’m a founder, AI engineer, and systems thinker. I build ambient, human-first AI, and I’m exploring how software can help us think clearer, feel deeper, and stay aligned in an age of noise.

When I'm not working, I'm making being creative and spending time with my partner Olivia in our little houseplant jungle, with our two dogs and numerous reptiles.
