CV
I've been writing software since childhood. I spent my early career in finance — investment banking (M&A) at Citigroup, then private equity — before coming back to building, which I found far more exciting. I was an early engineer at Humanloop (YC S20), an AI developer-tools company later acqui-hired by Anthropic, then went through Y Combinator with my own AI startup. I continue to build products, increasingly honing agentic engineering practices. I'm interested in maths, machine learning, chess, compilers, and economics.
