Taking a gap semester from Georgetown to deal with health issues and work on personal projects.

Previously, I dropped out of my final year of high school to work at bestever.ai in sf.

My favorite feeling is finishing a long day of work and having something I can point to and say "I made that".

My second favorite feeling is to jump out of plane 🪂.
