About me

I’m the co-founder and CTO of hardware intelligence. We’re backed by Y Combinator (S26) to build agentic tools for the future of chip design.

In May 2026, I defended my Ph.D. at Sharc Lab at Georgia Tech. My thesis was focused on agile hardware development: empowering more people to design specialized hardware by bridging the developer experience gap between software engineering and hardware design. My advisor was Dr. Callie Hao.
