About

I am a NYC based software engineer and freelance journalist currently working as a solutions architect at OpenAI. My writing on technology and culture has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, New York Magazine, and Wired. Recent pieces include an exploration of the super app WeChat and an account of my experience at a Chinese self-help seminar. My technical experience has been in building performant, observable infrastructure for large scale products.
