About

I have worked in the intersection of technology and government which has taught me to put users first. As a software engineer intern and first employee at Aidy (YC W24) I learned to listen to users and iterate quickly based on their feedback. I also previously worked as a researcher at the Massive Data Institute where I tested the fesability of operating a data collection protocol in the real world. Finally, when working at the Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation I gained insight into how technology can often be used in much different ways than what was initially tested and how to design for diverse groups of people.
