Today currently building Siri for codebase at heyfathom.com

I care a lot about design and like to build impossible things. With extreme practicality, I make crazy ideas real. I'm drawn to AI-native products, and to building things that last.

Outside work, I like travelling, tennis, and just collecting those moments. My memories are continuously being warped by new perspectives.
