I believe the internet is worth fighting for. I work on privacy features at Firefox for 250M+ users and build open-source tools (MarkUs & PythonTA) used by 10k+ students. I run Blueprint, UofT AI, and Anthropic @ UofT. This summer I’m doing quantitative research on a front-office trading desk. Won some hackathons (Hack the North, UofTHacks, Google × Hack the Future) and organized others.

I read a lot of history and economics in my spare time. In previous years, I placed 1st in Ontario and 5th Nationally in debate, and coached many cohorts of students.

I’m a triathlete training for the national age group team. Did a few Ironmans and ultra events this year.
