Currently learning Physical AI by working on autonomous robots at USC.

I've worked on AI products across cybersecurity, healthcare, and sustainability.

At [USC Marshall](https://www.marshall.usc.edu/), I study business with a focus on AI.

I spend my school year PMing for startups at [TroyLabs](https://troylabs.vc/); sending rockets to space at [Rocket Propulsion Lab](https://www.uscrpl.com/); building SoCal's first [intercollegiate founder community](https://nexussocal.com/); and of course, keeping up my love for the [game of golf](https://engage.usc.edu/clubgolf/home/).

As for my career, I worked on autonomous AI security agents at [MindFort](https://www.mindfort.ai/) (YC), human-agent interaction at [Oasis](https://joinoasis.com/) (a16z), and learned about VC as a [Dorm Room Fund](https://www.dormroomfund.com/) summer fellow.
