Let's chat!

I absolutely love meeting people. In the last year, stemming from meetups and online communites, I've probably chatted individually with in-the-healthy-hundreds of new people. Undergraduate students, VCs, founders, developers, product managers, VPs of engineering, professors, and everyone in between.

I typically chat with people about:

Donate to guarantee availability

I will go out of my way to make time for a 30-minute call for any person who donates at least $100 to one of the following non-profits and sends me a receipt. The donation should be dedicated to "Chat for Education".

I've raised a humble $300 for these groups since starting this program in November 2024. But you set something like this up and keep doing it over time and who knows where it'll be in a decade!

If you cannot donate the $100 minimum to one of these non-profits, I would still be happy to hear from you! Just no guarantees on timing or availability.

Why education non-profits?

For most of my early life I did not understand the importance of an education. I could not fathom going to college, nor paying for it. After I eventually learned late in secondary school, and later got a full needs-based college scholarship, my family's situation changed and I had to drop out of college anyway. I had no support system to figure things out so I left and have been working in tech ever since. Things worked out for me, but it's a situation I almost never stop thinking about.

Investing in education seems like one of the most effective ways to make a difference.
