The principles that guide my approach to building AI systems.
Theory Meets Practice
I don't just write papers — I build the systems I research. Every framework I propose gets tested in real-world applications.
Systems Thinking
Whether it's a tabletop RPG, a VR training simulation, or a personal productivity system — I see everything as interconnected systems to be designed.
Human-Centered AI
Technology should serve human flourishing. My work focuses on AI that teaches, empathizes, and helps people become better versions of themselves.
