I started coding in high school in Japan and never really stopped. Now I help run a fleet of research HPC supercomputers at Columbia, from the Slurm scheduler to storage and networking, and build internal AI tooling around them. On the side I run LaunchSpace, a product studio I founded to build and ship unique ideas from zero to launch. Try them below.
stuff i've built
Science-based meditation & CBT app
I started Neurotype after hearing Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. K talk about how different minds respond to different meditation techniques. For someone with ADHD, sound or movement-based meditation can be much more effective than a long body scan, but meditation apps still treat everyone the same. So I built one that doesn't. Neurotype uses AI to turn research across ADHD, anxiety, sleep, and more into full guided meditation and CBT sessions, then adapts recommendations based on what each user is responding to best.
Toolkit for Airline Pilots
Volo is an app I built with active airline pilots to identify and address pain points in the cockpit. It automates 9+ pre-departure workflows, saving ~30 minutes per flight. Today, Volo is actively used by 300+ pilots, with over 10% as paid subscribers.
AI Guided Meditation Generator & Studio
Web platform that turns a prompt into scientifically structured meditation and CBT audio. Designed the LLM pipeline, studio editor, billing, analytics, and automated mix/master workflow with audio engineers.
Competitive Programming Coach
Open-source terminal coach for competitive programming. Uses Codeforces data, a logistic matrix factorization model, and Socratic LLM hints to recommend problems and help users improve without giving away answers.
Weather, Date & Time iOS Widget
Noticed no iOS widget combined weather, date, and time in one place - so I built one and went from zero to submitted for Apple review in a single day. Hit #22 on Weather in the App Store.
Web & AI Applications Company
My company's website, built with professional Framer-level design standards.
