ABOUT ME
A little more about me.
I’m curious about how people make decisions, how markets behave, and how technology can help us understand both. I enjoy turning questions into things I can test—a model, a research paper, or a game. Alongside building and researching, I tutor students and help organize opportunities for others to explore these ideas.
