Hey there, I build tools for how people think and learn. I like the the teaching style of Josh Hug, the clarity of Andy Matuschak, and the drama and visions of Bret Victor. My approach to building draws from making things that I would use, following what is interesting or strange, and startup thinking. In the past, I've been a TA at UC Berkeley and a software engineer at an edtech startup. Now, I'm building a notes app called Prism.
