Building ideas. Exploring possibilities. Asking better questions.
Computer science senior at Barnard. CTO & co-founder of Lynxster. Digitizing dragonfly records at the American Museum of Natural History. I build end-to-end software, explore what technology could do differently, and follow the threads that pique my curiosity—occasionally into the backrooms of a museum.
Based in New York.
Still following the thread.
I’m a senior at Barnard College studying computer science, with minors in anthropology and English. I arrived with QMSS and economics in mind, discovered programming, and kept finding more things I wanted to do with it. Since then, I’ve worked across full-stack development, AI, and cryptographic systems—and somehow found my way into dragonfly archives and mantis behavioral research.
Naturally, this was all part of the plan.
I like taking an idea far enough to find out whether it works: building the software, figuring out the details, and asking what could make it more useful. Conservation and animal behavior give me another set of questions to follow, while anthropology often changes how I look at them. Sometimes those interests overlap; sometimes I’m happy pursuing them alongside each other.
Outside of that: wildlife photography, writing, and squash. Some interests have remained reassuringly consistent.
Engineering, product development, and technical leadership for independently verifiable digital records.
I fell in love with photography when I was young, and wildlife has become one of my favorite reasons to pick up a camera. It’s something I do for myself, and something I want to keep getting better at.
This is a growing collection of photographs I’m proud of. I’ll keep adding to it as I go—hopefully with a little progress visible along the way.
Have something worth building, a question worth exploring, or an opportunity you think I’d be curious about? I’d love to hear.
