San Francisco, Calif., circa 2026.
I founded Gatsby Robotics, a small San Francisco company building humanoid robots that clean apartments. Before that, I was a student at the University of Chicago, double‑majoring in Computer Science and Economics. I left to work on Gatsby full-time.
I grew up in Scarsdale, New York, and live in San Francisco now. Outside of work, I kayak, make homemade ice cream, and spend time around robots. I'm happiest making things that don't fit neatly into a category — this paper included.
A few things I've been lucky to work on along the way:
- Did economics research alongside a Nobel laureate at the University of Chicago.
- Joined the founding team of Fira (YC W25).
- Built Spider-Man-style wall-climbing tech with electromagnets in high school.
- Started a podcast interviewing people from the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and made it through twelve of them.
- Coded and published chess-analytica, an open-source Python library that's now past 50,000 installs.
My chess.com rating, as of this writing, is … (…). It changes more often than I'd like.
I built this site as a place to share the things I make: a dataset, a chess analysis, a company, sometimes a half-finished idea. I hope you find something here worth reading.
