Trainsafe Inc. · Co-founder · 2024–present

Trainsafe Inc.

Trainsafe is a vertical AI platform for the consulting industry. Every employee gets a representative AI agent that integrates with our custom workflow system and coordinates tasks across other agents in the system through a governed communication protocol, removing the human-to-human bottleneck for routine work. On top of that, we built specialized tools that automate the manual deliverable production consultants spend most of their time on.

Encryptech AI · Co-Founder · Oct 2024 – Nov 2025

Encryptech AI x Avalanche

Founded Encryptech AI to build privacy-preserving ML infrastructure on homomorphic encryption and federated learning. Selected as one of five companies in Avalab's Codebase Cohort in Brooklyn, which seeded the company with $50K in pre-seed before formal rounds. Architected adaptive encryption protocols that hold GDPR compliance without sacrificing performance, and delivered an invited presentation at MIT's Decentralized AI Conference on the architecture and security implications of the Model Context Protocol.

HackMIT 2025 · MIT Cambridge · Sept 13–14, 2025

HackMIT 2025 — Jova

Built Jova with my team over 24 hours at Kresge Auditorium. A collaborative AI workspace that folds messaging, video calls, file storage, and AI agents into a single platform with a shared memory. Agents learn from collective team history so they stop duplicating work or giving parallel instructions, and files are retrievable by content rather than filename. Also invited to the YC at MIT talk the evening before hacking began.

MIT Media Lab — NANDA Protocol photo 1

MIT Media Lab · Core Developer · Nov 2024 – May 2025

MIT Media Lab — NANDA Protocol

Core developer on the NANDA Protocol at the MIT Media Lab under Prof. Ramesh Raskar's group. Collaborated with the research team to build a DNS-style registry system for discovering and registering MCP servers across the open web. Designed and implemented a coupon-based verification layer to vet the safety of MCPs before they could join the registry, and a community-driven rating system that surfaces reliable tools while giving new MCP servers a path to visibility through authentic feedback.

HackMIT 2024 — Top 2 Finalist photo 1

HackMIT 2024 · MIT Cambridge · Sept 14–15, 2024

HackMIT 2024 — Top 2 Finalist

Top 2 Finalist at HackMIT 2024 in Cambridge. Built an MVP for a decentralized AI system enabling secure multi-entity model training without any single party exposing their raw data. Used federated learning to let a distributed network of machines train and run inference collaboratively, and layered in epsilon-differential privacy so the system meets the regulatory requirements that normally gate sensitive industries. Showcased concrete applications including multi-bank fraud detection and unified health records across hospital systems.
