i’m interested in using psychology, games, and AI to improve education.
to that end, i'm a staff product manager at duolingo, where i’m co-leading the Video Call project—a gen-AI powered way to practice conversation.
before that, i’ve spent almost a decade (as of 2024) working on user growth at duolingo e.g. new user onboarding, asia expansion, and gamification.
in my free time, i’m often playing soccer or lurking in the depths of wikipedia and tiktok.
want to say hello? my office hours are here. all are welcome!
