about

Background

I'm a business and data science major at Carnegie Mellon University, currently splitting time between Pittsburgh, PA and Portland, OR. I love intersection, whether between music and technology, data and design, or finance and creativity, mixing things together (like music) makes things more fun.

That curiosity has led me to build things like fintech platforms, computer vision tools, and whatever else sits at an interesting intersection. My obsession with music and creativity in general is what drives me to break out my comfort zone and sacrifice polish for experimentation. I love searching for unkown unknowns, theres too much in the world not to explore it all.

Now

Right now I'm building Tonica. I love writing about the things I can't stop thinking about, largely the future and the subjectivity of life. I'm very open minded, loving to use philosophical arguments for today's issues. Most of my time goes toward 'making things'.

Elsewhere

Outside of school and projects I spend time with music, photography, and fashion. I DJ, play guitar, bass and a little bit of drums. I listen to tons of music (check out my spotify!) and love rating stuff. My goal in life is to be more interesting, thats it. Whether a startup or new hobby makes me more interesting, I will pursue it relentlessly.
