Currently, I'm building RunDemon — digital employees for solopreneurs.

Before that, I was at TikTok, helping design the video recommendation algorithm. A chillingly fascinating role.

I studied Maths and Computer Science at Oxford, and Economics at LSE.

Some of my other interests include:

Literature: Hofstadter, Rushdie, Seth are lyrical favorites. I'm a prolific audiobook listener — my bookshelf is online.
Mountains: I feel humbled and closest to "God" during high-altitude treks. Nepal's Annapurna region is especially close to my heart.
Silicon Soul: AI for video games. Bootstrapped, generous returns. I built open-ended characters and worlds you could talk to.
Social Mobility: I care about projects that improve afterschool environments. I gained personally from such widening-participation interventions.

If you share these loves of mine, say hi! :)
