Biography
I'm building Intera, a synthetic persona generation tool for healthcare and market research. I'm also interested in modernizing campaigning software and local journalism.
Before, I was a predoctoral research fellow at MIT Sloan working on cryptocurrency and consumer finance. I studied applied mathematics and economics at Harvard College (AB/SM).
Most mornings and weekends, I'm usually doing some combination of running, biking, swimming, and weightlifting.
At Harvard, I worked on consulting projects with HDAG and ran an introductory Python bootcamp with HODP each semester. Outside of school, I led workouts with HCRC, participated in AADT, and taught at Chinatown ACCESS.
In previous summers, I conducted biomechanics research with the Biewener Lab on physiological responses to exertion in cockatiels (Nymphicus Hollandicus). I also interned at a quantitative trading firm.
