My life mission is to maximize human potential through better education. After teaching computer science to kids with learning disabilities when I was 13, I became curious about how to scale better education outcomes to all, which led me to build AI tutors with Aceflow. Now, I am building LLM-powered, talking teddy bears for kids to raise educational outcomes in people at the earliest ages. My goal as a Masason Foundation member is to form lifelong friendships with the incredible people at this foundation, and scale my learning product to millions of kids around the world.
