Product·AI·Startups·Venture
I'm a CS student @ Georgia Tech concentrating in Artificial Intelligence and Human-Computer Interaction. I'm passionate about leveraging technology for innovation and social impact. I thrive where technology, people, and purpose meet.
In my free time I think about expanding access to education, AI policy and ethics, intentional self-growth, and making AI accessible and effortless for everyday people.

My belief is that as technology capabilities keep growing and AI coding agents make building cheaper, the real differentiator for successful products will shift to product taste and what feels most intuitive. That is what drives my interest in HCI and figuring out how to build products that are genuinely intuitive to use, because the best products going forward will be the ones that feel effortless.
