Cofounder and CIO
-
Sep 2021 - Present
Cofounder, CIO, and Software Lead for OneCourt, a startup that aims to help the visually impaired experience sports. I oversee the software team and I manage several teammates, but I also work closely with the other different teams (hardware, design, business, etc). My specific software contributions include the entire backend infrastructure, firmware for our device, and demo software for competitions and user reasearch. To date, we have received several grants (such as Microsoft AI for Accessibility), started a project partnership with T-Mobile, and have begun work on early pilot programs with major sports leagues.
