Profile

Summary

Founder and builder who grew up across the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Thailand, and the United States. I studied political science at Virginia Tech and have since studied law; these days I spend my time building software and exploring new ideas. I enjoy working where law, technology, and the humanities meet, and I'm always trying to learn something new.
