I co-founded Memry (acq. 7 figs), platform tackling the loneliness epidemic thru shared experiences and co-founded Tor Labs, instant cross-border payments for creators. I also co-founded Belluh AI (acq. 6 figs), a relationship intelligence platform tackling divorce using behavioral pattern analysis. I previously co-founded Pathexplorer a 501c3 non-profit helping 7,000+ underserved African American and Hispanic students find their career path.

I am also an competition-winning photographer with my work featured by Apple, Porsche, NatGeo, Sony, along others. I was a semi-finalist in the 2017 Lightroom Photo Contest. I've done commissioned work for Lamborghini, DJI, Insta360, Arc’teryx, Volvo, Maserati, Patagonia, Unitree, Aston Martin, & Samsung. Previously I ranked Top 100 out of 700,000 contestants in GuruShots 2017 global photography competition, 4x Guru’s Pick (1 out of 20). I also ran a blog sharing my thoughts on current affairs with guests from academia, venture capital, media, and sports. At its peak, I had 30,000+ monthly readers in 2024 (Neil Shen was a reader.)

I turned down Jane Street, took a gap year to work on Faramir developing autonomous intelligence safe enough to run organizations and eventually society. Started at a Princeton Hackathon, won 3 grants, got invited into Harvard I-Labs & Palantir Startup Fellowship in NYC.

At my core, I believe technology at its core is used to improve how people live. This has shaped my belief that all technological advancements prioritizing development over people as a failure. A big focus area I have been interested in is lowering societal loneliness, therefore inadverdently lowering depression and potentially suicide by fostering stronger relationships amongst people. Hunch is, a society without the will to live, will not survive on a Martian colony regardless of how much water or resources is available. Likewise, AGI serves man no purpose if man ceases to exist the following day. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with brilliant people across biotechnology, AI, snacks, and neuroscience, finding entrepreneurial opportunities emerge from deeply personal experiences to tie technology that bolsters humanity's capacity.
