AIQ: predictive machine learning for the stock market
My first company explored the intersection of quantitative investing and intelligent trading systems, a seed that later grew into a much bigger mission around financial access.

Mentoring, speaking, and showing the work so the next generation sees technical entrepreneurship as something they can do.
Women in Tech finalistCauses I care about
Closing the gap in health
Imaging and Simulation
I want to combine brain imaging, mathematical matrices, and AI tools to simulate how biological systems change. One research direction is AI simulation based mental health diagnostics. Another is women's health. The aim is to test hypotheses and work toward better answers, with clinical validation built into the research.
Read the idea and the scienceScientific literacy
People should be able to examine the quality of the evidence behind a claim. MedLit helps readers assess a paper's methods, risk of bias, and reporting, with its judgments linked to passages in the source.
Explore MedLitWomen's Health
I want to help close gaps in how women's physical and mental health are studied, diagnosed, and treated. The goal is better quality of life: symptoms taken seriously, clearer answers, and care people can actually access.
Games for mental health
Synaptik explores research informed practice games for attention, emotional regulation, and everyday mental wellbeing. It is a place to try these ideas through interaction, with clear limits on what the games can measure.

MedLit
Appraises scientific papers with study-design-specific questions, supporting source passages, and explicit uncertainty. Its score describes appraisal traceability, not whether a paper is true. Connect your own AI provider, or explore the example without an account.
Synaptik
Short practice games for symptoms people actually live with: attention, impulse control, rumination, anxiety, and mood. Each game follows a named protocol, records only what it can honestly measure, and never punishes you for stopping.
Hackathon in the making
Sponsor a challenge. Help teams build
The Virtual Lab Hackathon is taking shape in San Francisco. I am inviting organizations, universities, and labs to help bring researchers and builders together, contribute resources, and turn ambitious ideas into working prototypes.
Bring funding, tools, expertise, or a challenge worth solving. Let's shape a role that makes sense for your organization and the teams participating.
Universities I've worked with
Previous research, mentorship, and speaking. Hackathon partnerships will be announced separately.
Invite me to judge, mentor, speak, or collaborate
For hackathon judging, panels, mentorship programs, women's health projects, or any philanthropy collaboration, send a note with the date and what you have in mind.

Building games
at age 10
I started writing stories when I was 10 right around the same time we got Wi-Fi. I taught myself 3D animation and gaming software by watching YouTube tutorials to turn my stories into movies and games.
A single scene could take a full day to render. I loved making the world. I hated having to wait and not having enough resources to create bigger projects.
I created Gameer for people like me who have stories to tell and want to create but not necessarily the money, team, or technical background to build them. Gameer is a platform where users can enjoy, publish, and earn from games.

Mission
Learn It, Build It, Own It
As a young immigrant who moved to the United States by myself, I had to learn all sorts of skills alone. It was a very challenging time, but it taught me to be stronger and inspired me to create products that help people teach themselves, too. I was a rebellious child who did not fit in. I liked learning by doing, on my own. From programming to investing, I taught myself everything. I build tools that democratize access to financial freedom for consumers and businesses. My goal is to make it easier for people to learn how to make money, create software, and turn ideas into real products.
