I lead growth and business ops at Pinetree Research, an AI frontier lab where we built Solari, the world’s fastest agent infra.

I never planned on pursuing business. I wanted to be an artist, and art school was the dream right up until COVID. Then came School Simplified, the world’s largest student-run nonprofit, with 500 staff and 70,000 members, and by 19 I had run it, burned out, and shut it down. After that, a sports app I co-founded, and now the lab. None of it came from a plan. It came from what I now call FAFO, f*ck around and find out, which is also the name of my newsletter.

The through line is getting people to show up. I’m good at founder stories and launches, at campus and community events, and at the automations that keep all of it running without a team behind it. If you’re building something and want help with any of that, email me. The longer version is in the Story.
