About
My work is driven by the belief that the next technological leap lies not in “better code” or “bigger data” alone, but in the creative synthesis of the two. I founded Base26 to explore this frontier—Software 3.0 systems (, ).
Before founding Base26, I was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at San Francisco State University. Leaving academia was a difficult decision, but the pace of technological change made one thing clear: I needed to build to truly understand what I should teach.
My academic journey includes research on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Programming/Formal Languages, and Quantum Computing—–fields that continue to inform my work today. I earned my undergraduate degree from Princeton, my PhD from Harvard, and conducted postdoctoral research at both UC Berkeley and Boston College.
