Hi there!

I was raised by two teachers who loved learning as much as they loved teaching. That early exposure shaped how I see the world: learning isn’t about answers or grades but it’s about thinking, curiosity, and feeling seen in the process. Those ideas have stayed with me.

I’ve always been drawn to computers, but just as much to how humans interact with them. I’ve long believed that technology can create incredible opportunities when it’s used thoughtfully. I taught myself how to code and that curiosity ended up opening a lot of doors. I’ve since spent over eight years working at a global nonprofit focused on making technology more accessible to people around the world.

I studied Integrated Engineering at the University of British Columbia because I was drawn to problems that don’t live neatly within a single discipline. Later, working as a Product Manager at Microsoft taught me how powerful well-designed tools can be, and how easy it is for technology to miss the human context it’s meant to serve.

A question kept coming back to me, simple but persistent: What would technology look like if it were designed around how people actually think and learn?

That question eventually became Socra Education, which I co-founded and now lead as CTO. We’re building tools that help teachers understand student thinking, not just student answers. Using AI to support dialogue, reflection, and deeper learning, rather than shortcuts or automation for its own sake. Socra was born out of the belief that education doesn’t just need more speed or scale; it needs more care, thoughtfulness, and respect for human reasoning. For the first time, AI gives us the chance to do that well.

At the core of everything I do is the belief that learning is lifelong, and that our systems should invite curiosity instead of suppressing it. I’m motivated by the possibility that, if we design technology with intention, humility, and humans at the center, we can build a better future for everyone.
