About

I studied computer science at MIT and pursued a master’s in machine learning. I had offers to work in big tech, but chose the startup path because I care more about building and ownership than optimizing for prestige or wealth. I played competitive squash growing up and in college. These days I train for triathlons and ski whenever I can. I like doing hard things and setting goals that force real growth. I coach the way I operate: direct, high-agency, and grounded in reality. I help people think clearly about their path, pressure-test decisions, and tell their story without fluff.
