I started teaching myself to code by tapping away on a mobile app (Mimo) on the train to work. Pretty soon I was spending my weekends working through The Odin Project. Fast forward a couple of years, and I made the leap to go back to school for CS. Life's too short to not pursue what you love, methinks.
Prev: I graduated from Northwestern in 2020 and also attended Georgetown's School of Foreign Service. Post-graduation, I was involved in capital markets fundraising and M&A advisory for public companies, as well as pitching and fundraising for early stage startups.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about how AI tools fall short for people learning to code.
You can read my thesis here.
If you've been thinking along the same lines, drop me a note!
