Stanford · AI & Education
Turning complex problems into simple, impactful solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence and education.
I believe that the most meaningful innovation happens when we combine technical excellence with a deep commitment to equity and justice.
Based in the Washington DC-Baltimore area with roots at Stanford University, I work at the intersection of AI and education—exploring how emerging technologies can create more equitable learning opportunities for all.
My journey from leading a historic school renaming campaign to working in management science has taught me that real change requires both vision and rigorous execution. Whether I'm developing AI applications or advocating for civil rights, I approach every challenge with the same belief: bold action, grounded in data, can transform systems.

When we discuss becoming John R. Lewis we are talking about upholding the legacy of a man who stood for civil rights and social justice at the core root of equity.
