i enjoy computer programming,
distributed systems and good design, roughly in that order.

i'm currently 20 y/o and a 4th year at UVA where i study
computer science

previously

i was a founding engineer at indexable (YC S26), where we tackled
the problems of compute overscheduling and VM inefficiency.

just before that, i was an early employee at phia, where i led the development
of applied ai & automation.
in my 9 months there, we went from 0 → 1M users and raised ~$40M.
