I'm building Chatforce to give anyone the ability to create games and surface the latent creativity that exists in all of us. We've raised $2.1M CAD from early investors of Pinterest, Vine and Notion. We've built viral games like Grand Theft Toronto and Reality Check, which have gone viral across internet forums and been covered in the news.

I'm based in Toronto and studied industrial engineering at the University of Toronto. I entered with a full scholarship as a top 10 student nationally and graduated as one of 15 Grads to Watch faculty-wide.

Outside of creating things, my first love is writing. I was first published in an online children's magazine at age 11 and have since been published in the New York Times and other anthologies since I was a teenager.

What I'm About

• Human-centred Design: I fell in love with designing products while I was a medical devices researcher as a teenager and would read Don Norman's The Design of Everyday Things during my lunch breaks. I studied software, human factors and design in engineering school, and have been designing experiences and products for over a decade.
• Intensity & Excellence I strongly believe being excellent requires intensity. I believe intensity comes from love of the work, and I'm lucky to be working with people at Chatforce who also love their work.
• Resource & Tool Mastery: I've been told I have an encyclopedic knowledge of resources available to me. I love to find hidden paths, leverage unexpected connections, and force solutions through constraints. This is also why I pursue deep AI fluency across every vertical of my work, making it both a personal practice and a foundational tenet of my company.
• Community Building: I have been organizing and running events for over a decade as a student and now as an entrepreneur. My community building and event hosting has impacted the experience of tens of thousands of people.
