About

Currently in San Francisco building Lunal. My interests lie in math and engineering. I have worked a lot on distributed systems, machine learning, information theory, and zero knowledge proofs. In general, the type of work I enjoy the most is simply building tech that people use, maybe with a slight bias towards math though ngl.

Away from my desk, I train jiu jitsu, play tennis, and make a lot of tea. My current favorite dessert is Pistachio Cheesecake and my go to comfort dinner is Koshari.
