My educational background is in chemical engineering and material science engineering. During graduate school, I worked on supercomputers creating atomistic models which I transitioned to an IT career. I currently work as a Full Stack Software Developer. .

I run a non profit on the side called the World Peace Catalyst Fund. I argue that the more cross cultural conversations we have, the more we learn about what binds us and what separates us and the closer we will be to world peace. To this end, I provide a semiotic social media application, Icebreakers, that reduces the communication barrier by 90%, compared to the 10% by current social media. Icebreakers is the easiest way to hold a conversation, and its use of the heart affect makes every conversation hold the potential to reveal a bond of society. Every cross cultural conversation with Icebreakers is a brick in the house of peace.
