PHILOSOPHY
Logic Meets Empathy
I am interested in what happens when analytical thinking meets human experience—when technology is designed not only to perform, but also to understand.
Understanding people before building technology.

Questions I Keep Returning To
I am drawn to questions that sit between disciplines—questions about emotion, trust, decision-making, technology, and the ways people make sense of one another.
Can AI learn to listen without pretending to be human?
Why do strangers sometimes become more honest online?
How does emotional or financial pressure change decision-making?
Can technology support empathy without replacing human connection?
