Started university at 14, founded and led a nationwide education organization at 16 with 400+ volunteers, and later built and deployed AI systems in production, before the generative AI boom, across defense, government, physics, and enterprise. That path shaped how I think: in systems, under constraints, and in real-world complexity. I’m drawn to messy, high-stakes problems where decisions matter, and software has to work beyond the lab. That’s what drew me to construction- a deeply complex industry where critical decisions are still made under time pressure, fragmented information, and hidden risk.
