Current Focus

Exploring the intersection of AI and creative technology, building tools that enhance human creativity rather than replace it.

The Journey Behind the Code

[No Defense] From early curiosity about the stories technology can tell to a Stanford CS degree focused on user-centered design, my career has centered on building software that feels intuitive and sparks delight. Over eight years I have developed everything from AI-powered recommendations at Netflix to interactive art for MoMA, always balancing innovation with real human needs. Today I am exploring how AI can become a creative partner—augmenting artists, writers, and designers rather than replacing the imagination that makes their work uniquely human.
