I design simulation environments for humans to co-reason with machines. My main focus is in adversarial attack modeling and simulating human decision-making from neurological first principles.

Currently engineering models for battlefield sims at Gallatin and studying CS & computational neuroscience at UCI. Before this, I helped design early simulation systems at Palantir and NASA.

I'm an experimentalist at heart. I've won 15 hackathons including the world's largest AI hackathon, built 911 dispatch agents at Berkeley Skydeck, ran the largest U.S. designathon, prototyped spacesuit displays, and presented lunar route-planning simulations at the European Space Agency.

You can find me sampling cortados at coffee shops, writing, or lingering on a portrait at a museum. My favorite painting is the Blue Boy.
