present
Co-founded PortexAI, an AI data startup focused on expert-driven model evals and post-training datasets. Through our Datalab platform, we onboarded 100+ PhD-level contributors, released COMPOSITE-STEM, integrated Harbor, and developed AsymmetryZero for expert-guided grading.
past
Before that, I led State of the Network at Coin Metrics Labs, an elite data engineering and research team studying blockchain systems, market structure, and network behavior. Earlier, I worked in economic consulting, taught myself Python on high-stakes market-manipulation cases, and studied economics and mathematics at Boston College.
timeless
Massachusetts native, now in New York. Interested in how data, incentives, and evaluation shape how new technologies are adopted in the real world. Enjoy running, cycling, hiking, drinking good coffee, learning Italian (A2/B1 level now), and expanding my reading list.
