In short

I build agentic workflows and learning tools for the students who go quiet when they feel behind. Right now I'm a research engineer at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, a backend developer for the Human Flourishing Program, and a software engineer on Zencube's mental health device. Along the way: 1st at Brown's 2025 hackathon and top 5 at NVIDIA x Vercel.
