Bio

Co-Founder + CTO @ Forge Automation | I love computers, math, and big specialized machines controlled with software! I went to the University of Waterloo for AI + Mechatronics Engineering, and interned at Nvidia, Trexo Robotics (W19), and Intel PSG working on a bunch of different software ranging from system software, deep learning, and embedded control. I graduated in the summer of 2022 and co-founded Forge Automation right after!
