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 we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do. As I have heard said, a person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have. Resolve to do one thing every day that you fear.
