About Me
I love building revolutionary ideas. Whether they've all worked is a different story, but chasing them is what I live for.
I'm an ENFJ-A: people-first, relentlessly driven, and endlessly curious. Over the past few years, I've won 7+ hackathons, built across AI, fintech, and wearables, and followed every instinct to create things that matter.
In the summer of 2025, I flew to San Francisco with one goal: get a job. No one cared. I showed up, pitched, cold-emailed, went to every event I could. Still, mostly silence.
Then I entered the UC Berkeley hackathon as a complete outsider. A student from UofT, competing on the opposite side of the continent. And I won.
That moment flipped everything. Within days, I had 5 YC-backed startups reaching out. I exchanged contacts with a multibillionaire. People started listening. I joined Halo as a Software Engineer, working on bleeding-edge AI for wearables.
Not long after, I found my own idea. It kept me up at night. Now, I'm building it full time.
Introducing Offline, the world's first offline social network. No likes. No feeds. No Wi-Fi. Just real people, in the real world.
