Builder. Immigrant.
Still figuring it out.

Origin

I came to the United States in 2011 to study computer science. I had a one-way ticket and a clear enough direction: build things with software. That part hasn't changed.

Career

Since college I've lived and worked entirely in New York City, moving through fintech, edtech, adtech, proptech, and now healthcare tech. Each industry was a different set of constraints, users, and stakes. The thread through all of it: complex backend systems, real production traffic, and teams that needed the software to actually work.

Building

I've founded two startups — both reached live products, both were sunset. I don't think of those as failures so much as experiments that ran their course. The flame hasn't gone out. I keep building: through work, through personal projects, through the ongoing question of what's actually worth making.

Now

My focus right now is enterprise AI — not the generic kind, but the kind that's shaped to how a specific company operates. I believe every serious business will eventually have its own customized AI system, trained on its domain, its workflows, its institutional knowledge. I'm working toward that future from both sides: as an engineer and as a builder.

Outside work

I work out six days a week and deadlift 130+ lbs. I cook, watch films, listen to classical music, and cold plunge. I like productive days — the kind where you did something real before noon.
