I’m a founder, working to make sure small businesses never miss out on customers because of missed calls, and maybe have some interesting conversations along the way.
I'm enthralled by the prospect of technology improving life in unimaginable ways, and I plan to continue to find ways to connect code to some of the world’s biggest problems.

- Deep diving into artificial intelligence, LLMs, Vector DBs, and simulation theory, particularly Bostrum
- Building a music playlist where every song sounds like it leads into the next in a seamless way
- Trying to get my fitness back by cycling at least 4x per week
- Coloring outside the lines
