STARTUPS
I co-founded my first startup while an undergraduate at McGill University in 2011. Since then, I’ve worked at two other early stage startups, the most recent of which was acquired by Lyft. I also enjoy advising startups individually and through programs like the Dobson Center for Entrepreneurship and NextAI.
2021: Next AI is a world class program for artificial intelligence based ventures and technology commercialization. My role, as one of three Scientists-in-Residence, is to support this cohort’s early-stage startups through technical and business mentorship.
2016: I joined a handful of people working for Ivan Kirigin at Yesgraph. Funded by YC, A16Z, Accel, and Bloomberg Beta, YesGraph helped businesses grow by recommending exactly who a user should invite using machine learning and social graph analysis. YesGraph was subsequently acquired by Lyft.
2011: I co-founded Moral Fibers, an ethical e-commerce clothing company that gave artists in the developing world a full-time job creating art for fashion.
