The one red fish
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.
every shoal has one fish that swims its own way. ( hello — that's me )

Notes from the water
Political Voices: Deepfakes and the Future of Democracy
CS 1050: Privacy and Surveillance
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
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.
