About

I study at Harvard and work on the future of cloud computing at Modal.

My ambition is to make better interactive software that helps people create, collaborate, learn, and meaningfully express what brings them joy.

Towards that goal, I am a generalist and care deeply about systems, which form the fundamental building blocks of our applications; and interaction design, how we use and live with computers that are all around us.
