About Me

I am a researcher and engineer obsessed with the interface between minds and machines. Currently, I am navigating the intersection of computational neuroscience and ML at UCSC and Stanford. I am a student in applied math at UCSC and a SURFiN Research Fellow at Stanford.

My journey started with a curiosity about how we can restore ability to those in need and provide people with the tools they need to be the best version of themselves. Both of these principles serve as the basis for my research and for the startup I founded.

How I Operate

The Fencer

Competitive fencing (USA Fencing D1) taught me to maintain precision under pressure and respect the value of fast, iterative feedback loops.

The Sci-Fi Nerd

I am obsessed with the hypothetical future of minds and machines. Yes, I noticed the irony of building what I used to read about.

The Maker

From cosplay to lab robotics, I ship "weird" prototypes until they become useful tools. I believe in learning by breaking things.

Working Principles

1

Tight Feedback Loops

Whether it is a brain-to-text decoder or a fencer’s parry, I believe progress happens fastest when the distance between action and insight is minimized.

2

Ship the Prototype

I value "weird" prototypes that solve real problems. A working, messy tool is infinitely more valuable than a perfect plan that never leaves the draft.

Interdisciplinary Translation

The most interesting problems live at the seams. I aim to be the bridge between wet-lab biology, clinical, and machine learning.
