I am currently the CTO and Co-founder at Corridor. Corridor is an AI company that helps engineering and security teams ship secure and autonomous code. We're a Series A startup backed by Conviction and Felicis. And we're hiring!

Early voting and accessible entrance signs In 2024, I ran for Georgia State Senate in my hometown of Johns Creek (NYT). From 2020-2023, I worked at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), where we built Crossfeed to help states secure their elections.

An open door with binary digits streaming through it I've long been an open source software developer, maintaining react-jsonschema-form (with many other people's help!) since 2019. From 2021-2023, I ran a grants program at Schmidt Futures to support OSS security measures in the wake of Log4Shell. We funded Ecosyste.ms, the Atlantic Council, OTF, and D//F.

I hold a B.S. in computer science from Stanford University. At Stanford, I was the first CTO of the Stanford Daily; organized TreeHacks; and worked on research projects through CodaLab, The Grand Tour Project, Stanford Internet Observatory, Immigration Policy Lab, and CRFM. I built software and infrastructure at early stage startups including Skiff, Nooks, Pulsar, Eventive, Maple Finance, and Caldera. Later, I worked at Sequoia Capital as a tech law and policy fellow in Washington, D.C.

I also hold a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center. At Georgetown, I helped start the Judicial Innovation Fellowship; helped establish an endowment for Dharmic Life; and worked at the Wikimedia Foundation and ICAP. In 2023, I worked in the Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division through an ABA Steiger Fellowship, where I worked on the multistate litigation against Meta over child safety (which led to a $17.1 billion settlement in 2026).

Before my undergraduate studies, I spent much time helping my high school build one of the top quizbowl teams in the country. I also attended Georgia Tech for a year through Georgia's excellent Dual Enrollment program.
