I study markets, build things, argue policy, run cross country, and draw the things I can't stop looking at.

Mission01

Markets, policy, code and drawing. I like knowing how things actually work.

I'm a junior at Ashland High School. I'm vice president of Model UN, I sit on the school's Student Advisory Committee and Student Council, and I run cross country.

Outside school I'm in The Knowledge Society and on the Massachusetts Youth Climate Council, and I interned at the legal-tech startup TouchPoint Legal. I've invested my own portfolio since 2023 and built my own AI stock prediction tool to forecast where stocks are headed.

And I draw. Mostly in pencil: fighter jets, warships, cars, buildings, and a lot of watches. Thirty of those pieces live on this site.

FOGLE

A browser-based 3D digital twin that layers a town's roads, zoning, traffic, water systems and flood risk into one interactive model.

Pilot model liveFirst town · Ashland, MAEst. 2026
The problem01

Municipal data is accurate and disconnected.

A resurfacing schedule gets set without knowing which segments sit in a flood hazard area. A density change gets approved without the traffic counts for the corridor it feeds. Water main replacements and street work land in different years on the same street.

The cost of a missed interaction lands in the next capital cycle. FOGLE puts every layer on the same geometry so those interactions are visible before the work starts.

How it works02
Step 1

Assemble the model

Pull a town's roads, parcels, zoning, traffic counts, water systems and flood maps from authoritative public sources into one 3D scene.

Step 2

Study it through view modes

The geometry stays fixed. Every parcel, road and water body recolors for zoning, flood risk, traffic, road condition, water, density, income or assessed value.

Step 3

Simulate the interaction

See how a change in one layer reaches the others: a rezoning against its traffic corridor, a paving list against the flood map.

Step 4

Predict where it fails

Surface the segments and assets most likely to fail so capital budgets go where the risk actually is.

Projects

Things I've designed and built myself, start to finish.

Markets · Stock prediction tool01

Calling the move before the market makes it.

I built my own stock prediction tool: a model I coded myself that uses AI and an algorithm I designed to forecast which way a stock is likely to move.

The model pulls in market data, turns it into signals, and weighs them through my algorithm. The AI layer reads the context around a company, including news, sector trends and the macro picture, so the forecast isn't based on price alone.

I use it alongside my own portfolio, which I've managed since 2023, and test ideas from it in Stock Market Club.

Experience · Internship

TouchPoint Legal

Student intern at a legal-tech startup building software for in-house legal teams, during the Harvard Undergraduate Ventures-TECH Summer Program in summer 2025.

Role · Student InternSummer 2025Letter of recommendation from the founder & CEO
The company01

Legal work lives in scattered email. TouchPoint turns it into a timeline.

In-house legal departments lose track of work spread across email, chat, outside counsel and executives. TouchPoint captures those communications automatically and organizes them into clear matter timelines.

It reports through three products: Legal Wrapped, a quarterly impact report; Executive Brief, a monthly update for leadership; and an Operations Dashboard for real-time oversight. When I joined, the company was early stage and running a waitlist.

What I did02
Research

User research

Worked out what legal ops leads, general counsel and executives each need to see, and why legal teams struggle to justify their spending.

Analysis

Competitor analysis

Benchmarked TouchPoint against data-storytelling and analytics products like Spotify Wrapped, Amplitude and Power BI to find where a legal-specific tool wins.

Product

Contributed to the MVP

Turned that research into product ideas for the first version, working with a small team.

Pitch

Presented to the CEO

Presented our findings and product ideas to the founder and CEO, and earned his letter of recommendation.

The work01
Every year

Recommendations to the Governor

Each council meets monthly through the school year and writes a set of climate policy recommendations for the Governor, usually built around one focus area.

Focus areas

Schools and youth action

Past councils have focused on topics like decarbonizing schools and making it easier for young people to take climate action.

A Young Person's Guide to Climate Activism

A fold-out zine the council published through mass.gov: join or start a club, inform your advocacy, spread awareness, make it visible, start small, and take care of yourself along with the planet.

My part

Economics and budgeting

I asked to start a subcommittee on economics and budgeting, because every climate plan eventually comes down to who pays for it, and when.
