Being the change I wish to see in the world. Building Rolemate. CS + Data Science at Rutgers, jazz saxophone when not shipping. I got tired of watching real builders lose to AI-polished noise, so I built Rolemate to make proof the only thing that counts, a thing nobody had built for hiring. One filter sorts every repo here: has it been done before, and how many people does it help? NSF I-Corps fellow. Everything I build ships.

- Doing what's never been done before, to help as many people as possible. That's the filter for everything below and above.
- Proof as the only signal that doesn't lie. Real commits, real deployments, real results.
- Students who walk out of workshops with something shipped that didn't exist that morning
- Jazz, saxophone, drums, and voice: improvisation is playing what's never been played, and another medium to build things that both I and others can enjoy.
