I moved to the US in 2022, midway through high school. Right now I’m building Clean, the shared context intelligence layer for AI Agents. Before this I worked at Cisco and two early-stage startups, which is where I caught the bug.

I post on LinkedIn every day and haven’t stopped for about 8 months now. I love hackathons more than I probably should. I’ve won 7 total, 5 of them in a 5-day stretch. I also competed in VEX Robotics internationally from 2022 to 2025, which is still one of my favorite things I’ve done.

I’m at UC San Diego studying Computer Engineering, but I drive up to SF every chance I get. During breaks I basically live there. If you want to follow along or say hi, I’m on LinkedIn and X.
