About
I'm a software engineer who sits at an invaluable intersection of engineering, world-class customer service, and product vision. I've worked on multiple startup teams, either at YC-backed companies, friends' ventures, or personal startups, where I've taken user feedback and converted it into prototype features and eventual implementation.
Ambiguity is where I thrive-- taking vague requirements and generating tangible results is a norm. My passion project lately is a collaboration between me and Vandy MBA Mengyang He, with the express purpose of enriching Vanderbilt's startup ecosystem. Motivated by our personal experience seeking the startup community at Vandy, we felt a gap and swiftly executed on it-- pithing at the Hult Competition and connecting with Nashville-based angels.
Feel free to connect with me wherever, I'd love to chat about anything! You can find my LinkedIn and email here.
