About

A little beyond the work.

I study economics at Stanford, with interests in computer science and philosophy. I like understanding how people think, what they value, and how an idea becomes useful.

Writing & ideas

I wrote Philosoteen for the Los Altos Town Crier, exploring philosophy in everyday life. I also co-authored Stanford’s winning 2026 policy memo on learning and assessment in the age of AI.

Homer Humanities

Co-founded an international platform for young writers and artists, with competitions and print anthologies.

Karate

National champion, four-time national medalist, and instructor. A continuing practice in attention, discipline, and helping others improve.
