About

I'm the founder of Psyfy, a cozy self-care app where you grow a village by walking, journal with science-informed prompts, and chat with an AI companion. I have a PhD in computer science and a master's in psychology. At Edinburgh I researched how language reveals patterns in mood and personality; at Stanford I worked on making ML systems safe and fair. That work is the foundation for how we build Psyfy — we've run extensive safety research to make sure it's genuinely supportive. It's the thing I wished existed while I was studying this: mental health support that feels warm rather than clinical. More than 300 five-star ratings on the App Store so far.
