About
I'm a Mathematics & Philosophy student at the University of Toronto with a minor in Statistics. Alongside school, I co-founded the Office of Rebates and Grants, advising 20+ startups on grant funding, and have worked across quantitative crypto strategy, biotech investment research, and M&A due diligence. Outside of work, I compete in chess (~2000-rated) and poker (4x Fiji Poker Champion).

An analysis of R v Butler, arguing that the Supreme Court of Canada's obscenity ruling rests on an unstable philosophical foundation, and that Rae Langton's account of pornography as an illocutionary act of subordination supplies the principled basis the Court's reasoning lacked.
