i landed in silicon valley as a 22 year old software engineer couple of years ago and it has been an amazing experience! i enjoy guiding others to do the same & integrate into the community.

the deck house provides an opportunity to mentor and guide young minds. as a techie and founder myself I understand the drive to learn and grow and I enjoy helping people get to the next level.

because the deck house is so close to stanford, I am able to meet up easily and provide feedback on short notice- it is convenient for one on ones and I enjoy giving tours of my stanford lab.
