this is some
of my work.
the short version: i said yes to everything, found the work that actually mattered, and turned it into something built to outlast me.
i said yes to everything.
before i knew exactly what i wanted, i collected rooms. fifteen-plus fellowships and internships across three years — each one a different angle on the same question: how do you build things that actually matter?
then i went deep.
five rooms i didn't just visit — i built in them. shipped to real users, published peer-reviewed research, and went back to oracle a second time. this is the work i'd stake my name on.
