About me

Hi, I’m currently an undergraduate at Yale studying computer science. I spend most of my time researching blockchains and using machine learning to accelerate research on Mars.

Over the past few years I have become enamored with blockchains and could not resist but to build something myself in the space. What began as a decentralized exchange has turned into Vect and Alodex, which I am working on at Alodex Labs.

In high school I worked with my mentor Dr. Scott D. Guzewich at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center on using machine learning models to identify water-ice clouds on Mars. We published our findings in Icarus, and I won 3rd place in Physical Sciences at the 2022 National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium for the work.

Some other facts:

  • I run friends & family at Yale, weekly Friday night build sessions at Tsai CITY
  • I am an Eagle Scout. For my project I built weather stations for my town’s elementary schools
  • I love composing music and playing piano
  • I play tennis and like watching hockey

I like talking about blockchains, doing good, and startups. If you do too, let’s talk!
