I solve problems and ship AI-powered products. The unconventional path is the art.
Git Workflow for AI-First Teams
AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor are incredible but they create merge conflicts that slow down teams. Pluto solves this by giving AI agents their own git branches and automating the merge workflow.
Real-Time Design Collaboration with AI
A Christmas-themed multiplayer design tool built in 1 week where teams create and manipulate shapes together in real-time. Features natural language AI commands, multiplayer cursors, smart shape locking, and sub-100ms sync latency.
AI-Powered Tutor Quality Scoring Dashboard
Built in 24 hours during Gauntlet AI Week 4. A comprehensive dashboard that monitors tutor performance across behavioral metrics, feedback sentiment, and lesson quality. Features automated pattern detection to identify at-risk tutors 2 weeks earlier than manual review, with AI-powered interventions that scale to 1000+ tutors.
I wasn't a software developer. I studied physics, worked as an economist, built models as a data scientist. Then I started shipping AI products.
That crooked path? That's my art. The perspective no one else brings. I think in systems, decide with data, and ship with urgency.
"Build it ugly first, then beautiful. The ugly MVP becomes the beautiful product. I always build."
Learned to model complex systems and think in first principles.
Understood incentives, markets, and how people actually make decisions.
Built models, found patterns, learned to let data tell the story. MS from UT Austin.
Shipping AI-powered products. The path led here.
