I'm largely interested in building with technology and early stage investing. I work at NEA as an Analyst where I focus on drug discovery, continual learning, and AI infrastructure. I also do Applied AI where I help imagine what an AI native vc fund looks like. NEA is one of the largest venture capital firms in the world, with over $35B+ AUM and a 50+ year history of backing category-defining companies including Uber, Cloudflare, Robinhood, Databricks, Coursera, and Salesforce.

I'm a technologist and founder at heart. I've worked on several start-ups. I co-founded a viral international calling service after Skype shut down, an AI consumer start-up that builds general user models, and a social betting app when I was 16.

Every sunday I post my thoughts on the tech landscape, and early and late stage buyside dealflow.

Campus involvements: I lead Morningside Venture Fund, Columbia's first student run venture capital fund. I'm also involved in Columbia Venture Partners (Former Co-Director of Partnerships and Communications).
