Building and advising startups in emerging technologies, as well as researching and deploying intelligent systems, has led me to pursue transforming the nation’s ability to adopt and deploy these technologies for critical national security challenges.
I question the policies, assumptions, and failures that undermine our nation’s national security strategy, interrogate the lessons of the geopolitical past, and attempt to shape our understanding of the technological future.

I’m currently at Northeastern University pursuing an interdisciplinary bachelor of science in business strategy, public policy, law, economics, design, and Jewish studies. I graduate in the fall of 2026.
I’m passionate about contributing to impactful work with intelligent systems, national security, public policy, or international development. Contact me with opportunities, questions, or requests.
I’m a proud Bukharian Jew and first-generation American. My parents immigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union in 1990.
My maternal grandparents were career musicians and music educators; I’ve picked up several over the years. I’m currently learning doira and duduk, but my favorite has been the cello. In my spare time, I practice Persian and Uzbek, engage in amateur bookbinding, photograph my friends, and read.
My favorite trip was to Japan in the Summer of 2025, where I studied experience design and made a photo book on the convergence of tradition and modernity in Japanese urban space. When I get around to it, I plan to publish it.
I hope one day to visit Uzbekistan, where my family is from. I’ve been cooking the national dish since I was tall enough to reach the stove.
