About

My name is pronounced "kwan". I live in NYC and write code at Firsthand AI.

I got my start in open source, building software for cancer research and LLM deployment and mentoring students in CodePath's Applied AI Engineering course.

Before building software, I built financial models for companies, from Fortune 500 ($RJF) to startups at Series A through D and IPO ($DIBS).
