About Me

I'm a full-stack developer with a focus in AI applications and developer tools.

I started writing C++ in 2015 — building computer vision algorithms at DJI and programming robots in Java for my FRC team. At NYU I taught Object-Oriented Programming in C++ and Intro to Programming in Python while competing in ACM ICPC. That early foundation stuck with me through a career in venture capital and eventually back into building software full-time.

My current work centers on MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and AI feature implementations — enabling AI agents to interact with databases and development environments through standardized interfaces. I enjoy working at the intersection of backend systems and emerging AI tooling.

When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open source, or thinking about how to make developer workflows more efficient.

Decade+ of Building Cool Things

2015

Team captain and chief programmer. Designed, built, and programmed autonomous and teleoperated robots.

Java
2015

Engineered, prototyped, and demonstrated the object detection and avoidance algorithm. The algorithm is still shipping in Mavic drones today.

C++
2015 – 2018

TA'd OOP & Intro to Programming at NYU

Taught C++ and Python in tutorial sessions. Competed in ACM ICPC using C++. This was before LeetCode became a thing.

C++Python
2017 – 2020

Operated 30 RX 580 GPUs (10 kW of power capacity). Wrote software that automated miner management and real-time monitoring. Also a fair share of BIOS/vBIOS tinkering to optimize hashrates.

BashPython
2023

Built Preferred Insights

Co-founded a SaaS platform that automates VC deal modeling, from data ingestion to financial analysis.

PythonTypeScript
2025

Built Multi-Database MCP Server

Built an open-source MCP server connecting AI agents to Postgres, MySQL, ClickHouse, and more.

PythonTypeScript
2026

Built Claude-VC Plugin

Developed an open-source agentic plugin for VC workflows — deal screening, investment memos, cap table modeling, and financial projections.
