Origin

Veterinary care runs in my family.So does frustration with clinic software.

My parents and grandfather are veterinarians. I grew up watching them care deeply for animals — then lose hours to software that made every task harder.

I wanted to build something that gives that time back. So I started SkadApp: an AI veterinary super-app that cuts busywork so doctors can spend more time helping animals.

A voice assistant clinicians can ask anything — about a patient, a protocol, a next step — without leaving the moment of care.

Product

BluWorld

A social network that rewards real-world adventure — not mindless scrolling.

I founded BluWorld to flip the feed: nearby events, side quests in any city, and friends who show up in the world instead of disappearing into a screen.

Ice cream for every dining hall

My freshman year of college I started a petition, got 800 signatures, and now every dining hall on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus has ice cream machines.

A long-shot campaign I had to join

In the 2024 election, Joe Biden’s approval was collapsing and 77% of Americans wanted another choice. Congressman Dean Phillips was the lone Democrat calling on President Biden to step aside for a younger nominee. Even though most people didn’t know Congressman Phillips name, he took action and ran for president. It was a long shot, but I had to help. The campaign was on the ground in New Hampshire while I was a student in Madison, so I taught myself video editing and found a new way to contribute. The content I made reached over 4 million views.
