About Me
Some history
I build software, and for about a decade most of it has circled the same problem: getting structured, trustworthy data out of documents that fight you on it. I like crafting beautiful HITL workflows where good data compounds and accelerates the rate of subsequent review.
Bad data in commercial real estate creates vast inefficiencies and has multi-million dollar ramifications, so I dropped out of Stanford to start AbstractCRE. As the sole engineer for most of that time, I was responsible for the full stack. I eventually decided to move on, but the company is still alive, thriving, and is in great hands.
I decided to go back to Stanford to finish undergrad, took an ancient history class on a whim, and fell in love with cuneiform. Turns out Assyriologists face a lot of the same problems I worked on at AbstractCRE, just with documents a few thousand years older. So now I’m at Oxford mastering cuneiform, with a DPhil starting in 2026 that I intend to spend building the tools the field has gone without, tools that I believe will lead to a profound change in how we tell the story of human civilization.
