Profile

I'm a Harvard student pursuing a double A.B. in Computer Science and Economics. I build AI tools, research their failure modes, and study the markets they're reshaping.

Currently a student founder with TekTrek in San Francisco and an incoming Product Experience Specialist at Lovable — with past lives in software engineering at Verapath, healthcare LLM research at Harvard Medical School, and venture fellowships at Glade Brook and Milemark.

Political Voices: Deepfakes and the Future of Democracy

CS 1050: Privacy and Surveillance

Read Paper

Argues that voice-cloning deepfakes pose a fundamental threat to democratic communication that existing legal frameworks and reactive policy measures cannot adequately address. Examines the growing tension between AI and privacy — moving beyond individual personhood to focus on AI's broader impact on democratic systems.

Algorithmic Bias in AI Diagnostic Tools in Low-Income Countries

Economics 1343: The Economics of Development and Global Health

Read Paper

Examines how AI diagnostic tools validated in high-income settings fail catastrophically when deployed in low-income countries. Through two cases — CAD4TB (TB detection in sub-Saharan Africa) and First-Derm (dermatology AI in Uganda, with a 52.9 percentage point accuracy collapse) — the paper argues that absent rigorous local validation, algorithmic bias becomes a structural health equity crisis.
