About

I'm a builder who likes living at the intersection of data, product, and community. I've worked across logistics, edtech, AI infra, fintech, and cybersecurity while spinning up my own ventures.

Previously: UC Berkeley (Political Economy + Education), roles at companies like Flexport and AppOnboard, and YC S22 with Mintplex / AnythingLLM. Now I split my time between LA and the Philippines, running Whale Labs and building with partners.
