I work on Spatial Facetime for the Vision Pro. I just graduated Harvard in May 2024 studying Computer Science with a minor in Neuroscience. I grew up in Cambridge, MA but just moved across the country to Mountain View. This site is a collection of my side projects and latest tech takes.

Photo Finder
February 27, 2024
Photo Finder is all about enabling the user to leverage the full power of immersive spaces to organize, layout, and sort their photos. When I first used the native photos app on the vision pro, I felt like its single window UI focused on porting the iPhone/iPad photos app to the new platform instead of redefining new interactions and design principles.
Minecraft in Vision Pro
February 5, 2024
When I first got the Vision Pro on Friday, one of my favorite first experiences was the dinosaur demo. Getting a chance to see 3D models up close in such high resolution gives a sense of depth and intuitiveness I’ve never experienced before. Over the weekend I knew I wanted to do a project that leveraged 3D assets, but I am not an expert 3D designer so I knew I wasn’t going to be able to build all the necessary models in just a couple of days. Instead, I turned to my favorite video game growing up: Minecraft.
Debrief
September 21, 2023
Debrief is a personalized podcast. I combine saved sites, top articles from your favorite online publications, and scraped articles based on your areas of interest into a curated feed of summaries. You just tell debrief a little about what you’re interested in and it will give you a feed to listen to on the way to work, while you’re working out, or as you go to bed or brush your teeth.
