Founder

I founded or co-founded four organizations and co-founded PracticalGrowth’s AI course business. The record below runs from newest to oldest by start date.

PracticalGrowth

Co-founder, AI course business

2024–present

Operating

The PracticalGrowth brand and course business predate me. I co-founded its AI-produced-course venture and built production pipelines for quizzes, roleplays, cheat sheets, surveys, and other materials used across roughly 191 courses.

Accent Trainer

Founder

2020–2022

Closed

I prototyped an accent-classification model, hired two engineers, and led the system through data collection and production deployment. We closed the company after failing to find a market.

Pagewater Publishing

Founder and head of international partnerships

2020–2021

Closed

Audiobook publisher that signed Korean authors for English-language releases. We published two audiobooks and closed after neither became profitable.

Pixelgrid

Co-founder

2017–2018

Closed

Accessibility-scanning software that combined computer vision with conventional image analysis. We reached acquisition discussions, but the product was too narrow to support a company.

Heat Seek NYC

Co-founder and CTO

2014–2016

Nonprofit · closed in 2024

During my active term, I built connected temperature sensors and legal tools for New Yorkers without heat. I remained an advisor afterward. Over its decade of operation, Heat Seek and its legal-aid partners served more than 650 families and helped establish New York City’s Heat Sensor Program.
