2025-present

I joined Delphi to work on the core product, and one of the best parts is: you can just do things.

Product engineering and design across profile, chat, and train mode, plus the internal developer platform.

2024-2025

Founded leaked — I built a way for artists to text fans unreleased music, because drops deserved to feel like a real leak.

Artists could send audio over iMessage, fans subscribed to exclusive lists. The whole thing lived in your texts, no app download, no feed algorithm.

2023-2024

I shared my SSN over email to rent my first apartment and thought: there has to be a better way. That experience, plus watching my dad's green card get lost in the mail and delay our citizenship for years, made Aleo's mission feel personal. Privacy as a default, not a feature.

Led front-end engineering and product design there — a $1.5BN unicorn startup backed by a16z and Softbank helping developers build private applications with ZK cryptography.

Satisfied my itch to learn and create on the weekends building things like cwd.

2021-2022

Artists keep 12 cents of every dollar they earn on average, and I couldn't stop thinking about that number.

I went down a rabbit hole on NFTs and ownership in music, founded Muusic — backed by Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator and BitDAO — and tried to build a platform where artists owned their catalog and fans could invest in it. Along the way I worked on Catalog as a front-end engineer.

2021

Went down the design systems rabbit hole at Wellsheet. Created a design system that was cross-functional across React and Figma.

2020-2023

Studied Computer Science and Cognitive Science at University of California, Berkeley.

2008-2020

Spent my childhood fascinated by technology and tinkering with whatever I can get my hands on, from selling RAM sticks on eBay to fixing classmates' iPhone screens, creating my first iOS app, building acrobatic drones, to designing apps and websites.
