03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
OUT IN THE WORLDCurious about the world.
Better with good people.
I'm Daniel. I study economics and philosophy at The Ohio State University (opens in a new tab), and I'm exploring what becomes possible when AI, software, and hardware meet.
Through Builders, I help bring people together around the things they want to create. I'm interested in big questions—and making something tangible out of them.

Good things start
with a conversation.
An idea, a project, or a different way of seeing things.
I'd like to hear it.
