About Me

I'm a Computer Science student at UC Santa Cruz with a 3.96 GPA. 🎓 Currently serving as Founding Engineer/CTO at Pearson Labs (YC F24), where I'm building an AI-powered Dropbox for legal teams that reduces delivery costs by 40-60% in partnership with Orrick. I've architected scalable AI systems supporting 100k+ file uploads with under 5s latency and 90%+ accuracy. Previously, I secured $3.4M funding at Baskin Engineering and founded multiple startups reaching 10,000+ users. Passionate about AI, full-stack development, and building at scale. 🚀
