Bio

Co-founder and CEO - Building Kestral - the future of work in the AI era After studying Computer Engineering at USC, I was an early engineer at GoFundMe, started my own company in corporate sustainability, and most recently led AI Workflow initiatives at Asana. Let's talk about human/AI collaboration, for-profit for-good business models, and endurance sports (USA Nationals qualifying triathlete). Also rap in a band and like dancing at parties/weddings.
