About Me

Co-Founder & Technical Lead (AI/Data) at xVal. Building applied AI and decision systems in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Bio

I'm not the flashiest coder — I'm the stubborn one.

One of my first jobs was Burger King. It taught me that real work is often unglamorous — and that lesson stuck.

Before graduating with a double major in Computer Science and Natural Sciences, I worked everywhere: fast food, hostels, research labs, education programs, environmental advocacy, travel sales, and now AI and product. In every role, I took responsibility, figured things out, and left things better than I found them.

I am happiest when thinking and building come together, when a problem actually matters and there is a path to turn it into something people can use. Working with everyone from seasoned engineers to researchers to people who do not care about tech at all taught me that the core job rarely changes: listen carefully, make the complex understandable, and keep things moving without leaving people behind. I am not precious about titles or ego. If something is not working, I would rather fix it than defend it.

Right now, I am drawn to problems where AI, data, and product meet real life. I want to build tools people trust when the stakes are real, tools that make decisions clearer, make work smarter, and quietly become indispensable.
