Data alchemist. Startup pirate. Texas-made.
I’m back at Harvard Business School to finish my MBA. Taking a break at school after five years building startups. More to come with AI.
Vietnamese pronunciation coach
See and practice Vietnamese tones. Record a word, compare your pitch, and get a concrete suggestion for your next try.
Built solo with coding agents at OpenAI’s biggest hackathon yet, with nearly 47,000 builders.
Math harness & Erdős 585
The theorem gives conditions under which certain bipartite graphs contain a regular subgraph: every vertex inside it has the same number of connections.
From a 12-day experiment inspired by frontier labs. The math harness coordinates agents across open problems and checks their work; Erdős 585 remains open.
Board games, puzzles & Game Boy Color
Making the games I wished I had growing up: board-game ideas, cozy logic puzzles, and a Game Boy Color game for ModRetro Chromatic.
My independent games studio, and a place to experiment with making games with AI.
Memory across AI tools
I built an AI brain so I don’t have to start from scratch each time I switch tools. It connects my notes, research, projects, and decisions.
A memory system built around my own life. I use it every day; the underlying data stays private.
Vietnamese family, Mexican-American border town, English at school — bicultural before bilingual, before international. Breakfast tacos and big sky for life.
UT Austin → Microsoft → Google → X → Waymo. Data & product across ads, search, and self-driving.
I took a five-year leave from Harvard Business School to build Nook and Reforged Labs. At Reforged, we built AI tools for mobile-game marketers. We wound the company down in 2026 as AI closed the gap we were selling into. Now I’m back at HBS to finish my MBA and explore what’s next with AI.
I build tools for my own training, travel, family, and games. Using them every day tells me what to improve.
Reforged Labs was the company-scale version of a 20-year obsession. The shelf is upstream of the company.
Hyphen, Xoogler Vietnam, Overseas Vietnamese, a 250-person family tree — one practice on a 10+ year arc.
I also build tools for my own training, travel, family, and games.
An adaptive coach built on my own training history.
A flight brain trained on a decade in the air.
Generations of lineage, documented and honored.
Design research that ran upstream of Reforged Labs.
I collect flights, too. Logged in Flighty, with trips booked on points whenever I can.
