I’m a software engineer and founder building Drip, infrastructure for real-time usage metering, billing, and settlement for APIs and AI agents.
Previously I worked on the metered billing platform at GitHub, where I helped build backend systems used to track usage and power developer-facing infrastructure at scale.
I’m interested in systems where pricing, limits, and cost attribution are first-class primitives, especially in distributed environments where reliability and correctness matter.
Currently:
- Founder @ Drip (YC P26)
- Computer Science @ UCLA (Class of 2026)
- Usage metering and billing infrastructure
- Distributed systems and backend platforms
- Reliability and coordination in production systems
- Developer infrastructure and tooling
