Background

I spent a decade in tech at places like IBM, Credit Karma, Grubhub, and Netflix. At Netflix I led the SRE team responsible for managing global outages, pushed my comp past $500K as a staff engineer, and achieved financial independence at age 30.

Lyrin AI

I was trying to teach my kids Mandarin. Every app was the same. Flashcards and memorization. None of them helped you actually speak Chinese, so I built something different.

Lyrin is an AI tutor you talk to. It listens, corrects, and adapts to your level. I wanted my kids to have a conversation partner that was always available and endlessly patient.
