A thread wanders. A brief gets answered. Tell me what you want built, what is already in the way, and when it has to work — you get a straight read on it, from me, not a form reply.

First Contact

How a conversation usually begins

Simple, low-friction, and grounded in whether I can genuinely help.

Step 01

You share the opportunity

A job brief, research idea, project scope, startup challenge, or collaboration angle.

Step 02

I assess fit quickly

I look for clarity, seriousness, and whether my background meaningfully matches the problem.

Step 03

We align on next steps

That could be a call, async follow-up, technical review, proposal, or a simple yes or no.

Step 04

We move with intention

If the fit is real, I prefer to move quickly and concretely rather than stretch conversations indefinitely.

Direct Channels

Prefer a direct route?

Email is best for hiring, consulting, or research discussions. LinkedIn works well for professional introductions. GitHub and Medium help if you want to evaluate public work before reaching out.

Contact FAQ

Before you send a message

A few quick answers that make outreach easier.

5 questions

Are you open to remote work?

Yes. I am comfortable working remotely and asynchronously with teams across different time zones.

Do you only work with companies?

No. I am also open to professors, universities, founders, startup teams, agencies, and independent collaborators with strong ideas.

Can you help with both strategy and execution?

Yes. I often work best when I can help define the plan and also contribute to the implementation.

Do you participate in hackathons or competitions?

Yes. I actively participate in selected hackathons and innovation events, especially where AI, systems, or fintech overlap.

What makes a message stand out?

Specificity. The clearest messages explain the problem, the context, the expected outcome, and why you think there may be a strong fit.

Are Junior Developer Jobs Disappearing? What the Data Says

Entry-level hiring at the tech majors is down 65% since 2019 and Stanford measures a 19% employment gap for 22-to-25-year-olds. But an LSE paper covering 243 million hires found that when you control for remote work, the AI effect largely vanishes. The cause matters, because the two have opposite fixes.

Is Email on Your Own Domain Worth It Over a Gmail Address?

When an employee with a personal Gmail address leaves, they take every contact, every thread and every attachment with them. When someone with [email protected] leaves, the address stays exactly where it was, pointing at whoever replaces them.
