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 🪂

What blocks us is clear. Systemic: decaying institutions, rising unemployment, skyrocketing costs of education, and technological disruption. Individual: too short, too old, too scared, too poor, too stressed, no access, no backers, no confidence. How skilled we are at cataloging what holds us back!
