// introduction

My name is Evan, and my journey has been one of continuous evolution. From my educational foundations in international politics, language, and philosphy, to driving revenue growth during the early days of Bard Gemini @ Google, I've consistently sought new challenges and embraced opportunities to expand my understanding of the world and my place within it.

While my career path might seem unconventional, there's a thread that connects it all: a deep curiosity about complex systems and a passion for building technology that empowers people.

// core values & philosophy

I’ve learned that true growth stems from self-awareness, resilience, and defining a purpose. I’m passionate about creating technology that goes beyond functionality — building products that foster genuine human connections and bring positive change to people’s lives. I believe technology’s true power lies in connecting us to each other and to a more authentic version of ourselves.

// skills & expertise

From supporting the digital transformation of massive retail categories, hustling business dev in market research SaaS, or implementing AI marketing solutions to grow hundreds of unique business models, I’ve embraced each challenge as an opportunity to learn and adapt. Now, as co-founder, I blend my technical acumen with a passion for meaningful results, building a platform dedicated to making it easier for NYC locals to connect with each other without having to pay someone for a Polo Bar res 3 weeks in advance.

I’m a lifelong learner, constantly curious about how could ______ be improved?

// personal interests

Whether trying to reverse engineer my favorite bar’s newest negroni variation, hiking Mt. Fuji (not the summit, it was off-season) with the love of my life, or watching a 1.5hr long YouTube video about neural networks, each experience inspires my work and life.

These moments remind me of my purpose: create tools that enhance connection and enrich lives.
