Hello! I'm a full-stack engineer and community builder in the Lower Haight in San Francisco. I love the outdoors, hosting silly events, and building community.
Currently working on Colma.ai, exploring agents and tools for sales people and marketers. Previously 5 years at Ashby (employee #6). Tufts University alum.

Work & Projects
Lower Haight Line Dancing
Every week my housemates and I host line dancing in our garage in the Lower Haight. What started as a one-off idea has turned into a weekly 4-hour event every Sunday 6-10pm for the last 2 years. We get about 70 people out each week, filling the garage, driveway, and sometimes road near our house.
My friend Sean and I teach, starting with easier songs and working our way to the hard ones. Line dancing is very approachable — no experience needed, no cover, just good music and dancing with your community.
Lower Haight Local
Lower Haight Local is a neighborhood magazine I started in July 2025 to connect neighbors in Lower Haight. Each issue features local business owners, artists, and community members. We print about 1,000 physical copies each month and distribute them to shops and cafes around the neighborhood. It's connected so many neighbors — we now have a leadership team of 11 working on it!
This Artist Is Human
A project dedicated to highlighting and supporting art made by humans in the age of AI. Working with my brothers (both artists) and PJ Frantz (another artist) to make it a reality.
Community Builders Dinner
I lead a monthly dinner for community builders in San Francisco, in partnership with the US Chamber of Connection — a national organization working to create connection and trust in communities across the country. We bring together people who organize groups of 30+ people to share ideas and support each other.
Colma.ai
For work, I'm currently building on my own using AI. My main focus is an AI-powered CPQ tool that helps sales teams configure, price, and quote complex products — no more spreadsheet wrangling. On the side, I'm also building an SEO agent platform (admin.colma.ai) with my dad, who runs a small marketing firm. It runs automated SEO audits, keyword analysis, competitive research, and AI search presence tracking — basically the workflows his team was doing manually, now handled by agents.
