I was most recently a member of technical staff at /dev/agents. Before that, I worked on
open-source crypto at Daimo (self-custodial stablecoin wallet &
seamless cross-chain payments) and at an applied cryptography residency in Osaka, Japan.
I interned at Discord (platform security), Uniswap Labs (Explore), Microsoft (Microsoft
Search, Assistant and Intelligence), Tesla, and DreamBox Learning. I’m an angel investor in Succinct Labs and Applied Compute Inc.
I studied Computer Science with a specialization in theory at Stanford
University. Some of my favorite classes were number theory
for cryptography, Orwellian
english & history, and animal behavior. I also spent time researching children’s
development through drawings at the Language and Cognition
Lab.
I will go great lengths for good food and coffee.
I also enjoy running, dancing,
camping, and cooking. I occasionally
play with words.
