I study Computer Science and Math at the University of Michigan.
Projects and Work
- Tacitus Robotics Website a robotics startup I cofounded, developing tendon-driven hands and learned control for dexterous manipulation.
- Dewy App Store a skincare startup I cofounded. Its iOS app helps people choose products, build routines, and track progress; peaked at 3.8k users.
- Psephos America GitHub a legal-research platform that helps AI assistants find and cite U.S. laws, regulations, and zoning information, with original sources and dates kept intact.
- River GitHub a Texas Hold'em game for playing with friends inside iMessage or around one iPhone, without accounts or a backend.
- ChessBench GitHub a chess benchmark that uses fresh positions to study how language models remember, plan, and keep track of the board.
- Riolu Detroit Website a volunteer program I cofounded at St. Patrick Senior Center in Detroit. We assisted 250+ older adults through 22 eight-week technology courses and reported recurring app problems to product teams.
