i operate on the simple notion of trying to make the world a bit better by finding solutions to hard problems. typically, i commit to an initiative - then i figure out the rest of the components.

partnership integrations @ EliseAI where i am building at the intersection of product, operations, and partnerships

writing on the side. i am trying to better connect the inputs of ideas and concepts from media that i consume into outputs of my own.

worked at Amazon, TEGnology, Norman B. Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism

led teams to develop devices that solve problems like improving localized climate forecasts to accelerating knee rehabilitation

taught myself to code to develop an educational website that consolidates anti-racism resources for the public

built a makeshift lab in my basement to independently research and engineer cost-effective solutions for filtering polluted water sources

i believe in social reproductive labor i.e the work of educating and nurturing the next generation. so i try to pay it forward, from teaching middle schoolers to build autonomous robots in Bahrain to TAing sophomores through their first competition robot in Design and Manufacturing I [2.007].

science fair kid at heart. i won a few awards for my work and gave the keynote at the maine engineering expo banquet to get younger students into STEM. i still love helping students turn the questions they can't stop thinking about into projects — my email is always open.
