Brought the student founder community together.
I grew up in Chicago, spending most of the winter on the computer. I learned to code quite early - in 2012, my first project was a Bitcoin exchange. Then, I quickly fell in love with machine learning; it's the closest thing to magic I could find, and I especially enjoyed building small apps and products around the models I'd train.
I went to college at UIUC, where I first met others like me. I also met many brilliant entrepreneurs through the entrepreneurship club, Founders, which I led for 2 years. Through Founders, I met many folks at Cameo when they were early, and I decided to begin my startup career there. The rest of my history is a series of building and learning.
I've always loved to learn and craft. I care deeply about solving the world's most critical problems through technology, and I believe startups are the best structure we have for doing so.
