He/Him · Based in Seattle, WA

I am a second-year M.S. student at the University of Washington, studying Human Centered Design & Engineering, graduating in June 2024. Previously @ Microsoft, Amazon

Actively looking for early-career Product / Program Management (PM) roles

Reasons Why You Should Hire Me

Presently

I am working within multiple research groups exploring safety in virtual reality and designing immersive experiences for people with disabilities. I truly believe that better collaboration practices online can improve our society and the world.

Interests

My research interests are in developing methods and tools that augment people to communicate and collaborate more effectively. I am interested in understanding how emerging technologies impact communities in terms of information sharing, online hate and harassment, privacy, and security, especially with new tools being developed for collaborative work.

Previously

Previously, I have worked at early and mid-stage startups designing social experiences in consumer, ed-tech, and healthcare products. I also have some people management and operations experience through my work at Amazon.

A few selected projects

Check my design portfolio for UX work over the last 5 years. I am also happy to talk about my work at Microsoft and Amazon over a call.
