Work

Lanes · Co-founder

2026 – now

Lanes finds customers for companies. You give it a goal, such as forty booked calls. Its AI agents work in a real browser across Gmail, LinkedIn, X, and Slack. They find prospects, research each one, write to them, and book the calls. Active users are growing, and new users pay for it every day.

Reacher · GTM Engineer, previously SWE Intern

Dec 2025 – Jul 2026

Reacher is a Y Combinator startup from the Summer 2025 batch. I won an internship there at a hackathon and passed the technical interviews at 16. I started as a software engineering intern in December 2025 and later became a GTM engineer. I worked on outreach automation, browser automation, internal tools, and full-stack features in React, Next.js, and TypeScript.

I built and shipped an AI lead finder for startups as a web app, Chrome extension, and MCP server. It reached 120 active users. I incorporated a Delaware LLC and raised a $10K angel SAFE. I ran Arena from March to September 2026.

Johns Hopkins University · ML Researcher

Raay · Co-founder

We built an autonomous AI intern that had its own email address, phone number, and Slack account. At 15, I recruited and led six people who worked for equity. I took a raise of about $50,000 to the term-sheet stage, and it did not close. We printed hoodies with a QR code on the back.
