TECHNOLOGY × BUSINESS × CREATIVITY × MUSIC

ABOUT

I build things at the intersection of what's useful and what's motivating.

Bioengineering from Penn. MBA from UCLA Anderson. I've consulted in healthcare at ZS Associates, built in Edtech with Edily, and created community through Heartfeltapp.com. Before all that, I grew up in Foster City, California singing in musicals and playing soccer, baseball, and swimming.

I think the best ideas happen when you can apply parallel thinking across different domains. Technology becomes more real and human through creativity. Business becomes more valuable through empathy. And why not add music to any context?

VALUES

EMPATHY

Understanding others' perspectives before building solutions.

MENTORSHIP

Knowledge flows in circles, not lines. Teach and learn constantly.

CULTURE

The environment shapes the work. Build places people want to be.

CONSUMER APP

Heartfelt

A wedding gift management platform that turns the post-wedding thank-you note process from a chore into a joy. Record gifts by voice, track everything, and generate personalized thank-you notes with AI. Built as a PWA, native iOS/Android app, and admin dashboard with Gemini-powered transcription and note generation.

AI INFRASTRUCTURE

Lord of the Skills

A skill routing layer for AI agents — the “DNS of agent tools.” When the number of available skills explodes, agents struggle to pick the right one. LOTS accepts a natural-language task, discovers candidate skills across registries, selects the best match, and learns from outcomes via an ELO-style ranking system that improves over time.

ALSO BUILDING

TubeScribe

A RAG system for querying across 2,000+ YouTube transcripts from top business creators. Ask questions, generate guides, and get cited answers linked back to specific video timestamps.

GTM Engineering

An agent-first Go-To-Market automation stack. Four modular workflows — organic social, paid ads, creator recruiting, and outbound email — all orchestrated through Claude Code with config-driven client setup.

BUILD INSPIRATION

Lyric → Startup

Paste any song lyrics or name a song. AI will transform the themes into a startup idea. Every song has a business hiding inside it.
