Founder

Social Commerce → Neural Interfaces

Neuma · 2023 - Present
I have spent the last few years building neuromotor interface to let people silently talk into their computers by decode brain signals without making any audible sound.

Our internal prototype processes signals real-time and let you talk into any apps on your computer through a software experience I built using Python, JavaScript, and lil Swift magic.

Cosmic · 2020 - 2023
Built a social commerce product to let friends shop together (group buying). Also went door-to-door in Manhattan to onboard over 20 bodegas and storefronts. Raised $2.3M for this.

Multi-disciplinary

Design · Eng · Product · Ops

Design · Beautiful, intuitive, and emotionally resonant interfaces.

Engineering · Full-stack hacker (web, mobile, native, lil ML). Best at prototyping fast.

Product · PM by trade. Thinking about priorities, trade-offs, and positioning.

Ops · Thrive in chaos. Built systems for hiring, HR, finances, team ops.

I operate best when I'm working at the intersection of these disciplines.

Interests

Life outside of work

I'm the 'biohacker' in my circle: obsessed with strength training, cold exposure, sauna, nutrition, supplements for better health & life span.

I write poetry / raps, dabble with interior design, and collect old jazz records for fun.

Deeply influenced by Stoic philosophy.

Neuma

Founder · Decoding the brain

Our ambition for Neuma was to give people a third modality into their computers that lets them control and talk directly into their creative tools, like Cursor, Figma, etc using an on-device LLM model built into an earbud. We achieved a WER of 14%.

Despite a team of 8, I wear all the hats, but focus on ops, ensuring we run like a well-oiled machine internally. Plus, I lead the work around hardware, mechanical engineering, industrial design & product + design, and help out with machine learning & neuroscience.

Webflow

Product · Jan 2019 — Sep 2020

First technical product manager hire, joined at seed stage and saw the company grow to Series B.

Started on infrastructure efforts, but always itched to build consumer products. Led efforts to add Breakpoints and Layouts to the Designer Experience and CMS.

Wiggly Wisdom

Short reflections to ground myself

The best thing about being young is that there are very few things in life that can’t be undone.

Most of us are chasing external things so we can feel something inside.

In Zen there’s no difference between religion and life. Zen is about putting ritual in everyday life.
