About

• I like people who are genuinely kind, good, and noble, and I hope being around them will make me the same way.
• I love feedback.
• I like good UX design and building things that help people.
• I am bullish on humans and the ability of well-channeled capitalism to help them collaborate.
• I enjoy reading political philosophy, especially conservative, classical liberal, and feminist thinkers. See my reading list.
• I love America and believe great societies are built on hard work, personal responsibility, and ethics.

Hobbies

• I love to dance. I recently got into salsa, samba, and hustle. I’ve also done ballet/contemporary/hip-hop to improve my partner dance skills.
• I also do calisthenics and hike sometimes.
• I like cooking and growing hydroponic herbs and vegetables in my tiny apartment.
• I used to like fermenting foods in my tiny apartment.
• I am trying to get back to where I was in high school with classical piano and cello… Hard with a startup.

Work

I make my money by building people honest products that increase their autonomy and improve their life.

Currently, the relevant layer of the stack I work on is B2B SaaS and AI tools.

In the past I’ve done a lot of crypto-related research around cryptography, security, and trustless incentive design.

Future Goals

One day, I would like to found an Elon-style moonshot company.

I’d also like to make an impact that supports broader access as well as good funding for rigorous study to great books, classics, philosophy, meditation, and music.

I enjoy being a founder and building things people like, and I think this is the right place in the world for me to make my impact.
