Gatsby Robotics
San Francisco, CA
Founder & CEO
January 2026 – June 2026
Founded Gatsby, a consumer robotics startup: made U.S. history and international news for the first humanoid-robot home cleaning. Raised $250K pre-seed from Entrepreneurs First; backed by NVIDIA.
- Deployment: Ran the first-ever consumer humanoid cleaning (May 2026), delivering the robot to a randomly selected SF waitlist customer; negotiated and closed a partnership in Mexico for remote-teleoperation; backed by Entrepreneurs First ($250K pre-seed) & NVIDIA
- Robotics: Built a humanoid teleoperation stack from scratch by integrating frontier research from NVIDIA, Amazon and Stanford; engineered a hybrid stack with manual teleoperation and trained autonomy to execute real tasks end-to-end
- Product: Solo-built and shipped the full consumer stack: published iOS app, web platform, booking system and the robot-agnostic distribution layer on top of third-party humanoid hardware
- Traction: Grew an early waitlist through guerrilla marketing (walking the robot through Salesforce Park at peak lunch hour, placing intriguing sidewalk decals all throughout SF), then converted the first-in-U.S. deployment into international press (Fox News, Times of India, and more), driving a surge in nationwide demand
Teragonia Seed-stage startup
Chicago, IL
Intern
June 2025 – August 2025
- Prototyped an AI analytics platform overnight after the idea came up in a client meeting; presented it to the CEO the next morning, who pulled me off all other work to build it full-time for the rest of the summer
- Shipped a natural-language query layer (React, Python/Flask, Perplexity API) that let non-technical users analyze internal client datasets without exposing data externally; iterated on feedback from the team and PE clients
- Presented at the company's quarterly board meeting; the system is now integrated into Teragonia's flagship Astradis platform

June 2024 – August 2024
- Covered semiconductors and global EV output, building financial models to project cash flows and company valuations
- Engaged with sell-side analysts and industry experts to refine equity research and enhance market perspectives
- Select project experience:
- Developed an AI program to automate data scraping, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy by compiling extensive historical and projected xEV model data
- Assembled a 15-year, bottom-up operating model and DCF analysis for a large semiconductor company; issued a ‘Buy’ rating due to projected growth in plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) units and demand for AI semiconductors
MoBot SPC Physical AI Hackathon · 2nd Place
Demo / Writeup
OpenCV, Raspberry Pi, Python, CAD, 3D Printing
- Led a 5-person team to take a WALL-E-inspired cleaning robot from concept to a working autonomous demo in a 47-hour hackathon, owning both hardware and software end-to-end, placing 2nd of 30+ teams
- Designed every part in CAD and 3D-printed a custom embodiment on-site (iterating, fitting and finishing parts mid-event) on top of a wheeled mobile base with a Raspberry Pi running the full software stack
- Built and fine-tuned an OpenCV vision system that reliably detects floor messes across varying floor types and lighting, then drives the robot to autonomously locate, approach and clean them, wrapped in a layer of expressive character
Python, RST, YAML
- Created, published, and maintained Chess-Analytica, a Python package for automating chess game data extraction and analysis that has become a go-to tool for developers
- Engineered the library to be highly modular and extensible, allowing users to easily add new analysis features and data sources, contributing to its growing popularity
- Achieved over 50,000 installs as of 2026, establishing it as one of the top Python libraries for chess analysis and demonstrating significant real-world impact and adoption
