I want to update the world, help people grow, and make things.
Currently
I'm a junior studying Computer Science & Psychology at Yale, where I also compete on the Yale Triathlon Team. I support global disaster response through my work at the Yale School of Public Health, building a system to predict the weather and optimize disaster response worldwide. I work part-time for Handshake AI.
Previously
I made movies at New York Film Academy, conducted Alzheimer's Research at the Yale School of Medicine, and studied marketing and machine learning at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Recently, I used machine learning to understand the human brain at the Wu Tsai Institute, read Body Language, and even beat prediction markets.
I also built software to help voters better understand their representatives, which won the Congressional App Challenge. I coded tools to help people harness their creative visions, explore computational neuroscience, and understand the evolving relationship between technology and art.
