Meet the person behind the work
I build communities and startup residencies for founders. I graduated from Harvard with a degree in Economics and a secondary in Computer Science, and cross-registered in Computer Science at MIT. I founded Harvard St. Commons, the Harvard Hacker House, and was a founding team member of Cerebral Valley. My background includes co-founding Erevna, a student research nonprofit, and DAOHQ, a crypto exchange. I have organized dozens of hackathons and contributed to research at Opportunity Insights, the Census Bureau's Open Innovation Labs and USAFacts. My LinkedIn lists a Principal role at cyber•Fund. These details come from the public search-index excerpt of my LinkedIn retrieved 23 Oct 2026; the full live profile required sign-in, so current titles and dates have not been checked there.
