MIT Sloan & Cambridge

I've always seen the value in networks and communities, and when the opportunity to attend MIT Sloan came up, I saw it as a chance to both contribute to and embed myself in one of the most important ecosystems in the world — particularly right now. We're in the middle of an AI transformation, and a huge amount of the foundational research is coming out of MIT. The founders and builders emerging from this ecosystem are shaping what comes next. Sloan is a unique place to do a business degree compared to other historically top programs. The world has changed, and being in a more technical, more future-forward network feels far more valuable than a traditional MBA experience. Everything is shifting, and I wanted to be where the shift is happening.

Most of my time at Sloan has been spent building. I've been deep in the agentic web — exploring agentic CRMs, agentic memory systems, agent-to-agent experiences, and platforms that treat AI agents as first-class participants rather than features bolted on to existing software. I've built several platforms on my own during this time, testing ideas about what the future of the web looks like when you design for agents first and humans alongside them. And I've been spending most of my days building in Claude Code, using AI coding agents to work at a speed and scope that would have been impossible even a year ago.

Beyond my own building, I've been working to support the broader MIT entrepreneurial ecosystem. I'm on the leadership team of the MIT $100K, the longest-running student startup competition in the country. I've also been putting together a working group to better connect MIT Sloan and the MIT Media Lab, which has an extraordinary amount of frontier research happening that deserves more connectivity to the entrepreneurial side of campus. And I launched the Cambridge Founders Club — an extension of the community-building work I started in New York — complete with a full-stack application I built to support it. Same thesis, new city: curate a group of ambitious people, create space for real connection, and see what compounds.

The MIT chapter isn't a detour from building — it's an accelerant. I'm using this time to reinvent Pangea as an AI-natively powered platform, agentically driven from the inside out. I'm modernizing the entire tech stack — front end to back end — using AI coding agents to move faster than a traditional engineering team could. The question I keep coming back to is the same one I've been asking since Brown: what does the future of work look like, and how do you build the platform that meets it? The tools have changed dramatically, but the mission hasn't. Pangea started as a way to connect people with meaningful work. Now I'm building the version of it that's designed for a world where agents and humans work side by side.
