about

I'm currently working in SF at a Series A fintech startup called Two Dots. We're automating the income verification process for rental applications. I wear tons of different hats in my bizops role, from recruiting to tracking customer retention and contraction.

Before this, I graduated from Stanford, where I concentrated on International Relations and Data Science within the Political Science major. I also was lucky enough to take some GSB courses focused on startups, negotiations, and sports business. Some additional past experiences:

• Healthcare consulting @ Mindfrog
• Venture capital @ Correlation Ventures
• ML internship @ Dynam.AI

projects

I've recently built an interactive tool that projects every Premier League player's impact on their team's projected points. I've also put together full team projections for the season.

In addition to startups and investing, I think a lot about sports, especially football and soccer. I share my thoughts on my Substack. A few pieces from there:

• West Ham's relegation — and what we can learn from it
• Sometimes, the Human Element Cannot be Replaced
• David Protein: Diving Deeper

in addition

I'm an avid golfer. My favorite course as of now is Te Arai South in New Zealand.

I've also gotten more interested in hiking recently. The Presidio is a great local option. Also had a great time at the Jenner Headlands Preserve.

I'm also a Chargers and Tottenham fan. Big things coming this season!
