Bio

Founder and CEO of TAYA, where we’re building the future of wearable AI. I studied Product Design B.S. and Mechanical Engineering M.S. at Stanford and worked on the iPad Pro at Apple, designing components like speakers and RF systems. Formerly NCAA DI Athlete and First Team All-American and Captain, I’m foregoing training for the LA 2028 Olympics to pursue this startup full-time, making intelligence something beautiful, personal, and wearable.
