## About

I'm a product manager at Vel Labs, where we're building Sola, an AI companion.

I studied mechanical engineering and spent most of college on 3D modeling, simulations and prototyping. Since then I've worked in an oil depot control room, on lending at Jar, and on land records at Zoop Money.

Outside work, I ride motorcycles.

I'm building consumer AI products. So far I've worked on three. AI se, an English learning app. Instamarks, a K-12 learning app. And Sola, an AI companion, which is what we're building now.

#### [Zoop Money](https://zoop.money)

## Projects

All projects are private. There are no public links or repositories.

### Byte

_AI companion app_

A companion that chats, calls, remembers your life between conversations and reaches out on its own. One backend serves the web, Android and iOS apps. I built it to see what a companion feels like when it has memory and a bit of a life of its own.

### Freecalidraw

_Whiteboard with a drawing agent_

You describe a diagram, or drop in a document or a photo of a whiteboard, and an agent draws it as editable shapes. It then looks at its own drawing and fixes what's off. Built as an agent loop on top of an open-source whiteboard.

### Pvalue

_Significance for experiments_

Tells you whether an experiment result is real or noise, for regular A/B tests and paywall tests. Paywalls are judged on revenue per impression, because a cheaper plan that converts more can still earn less. Built because standard calculators get paywalls wrong.

### OpenSheets

_One window for a team's sheets_

Puts a team's Google Sheets in one place, grouped into spaces. Each sheet opens live and editable, and recent ones stay loaded so switching is instant. Built to stop juggling a dozen spreadsheet tabs.
