currently working on something new.
I deferred cs @cmu at 18 to move to palo alto by myself to play infinite games and build something great. outside of work, I read, I work out, and i'm learning to meditate.  

past:

📍 vancouver

- at 16, I cofounded fern, a biodegradable stationery company, sold over 50000 markers, planted 1000 mangroves, realized it wasn't venture scalable, and exited.

- at 13, I started a sneaker cook group and grew to 450 members & 300k+ arr before shutting down late covid.

- between the two I built a couple of apps w  >25k downloads and finalisted in rise, atlas, & more.
