Hi, I'm Faye.

My projects range from engineering marine robots that go into the actual ocean, to building AI tools that real recruiting teams use, to running a conservation nonprofit I started from scratch. What ties them together is that I genuinely needed each one to exist.

I'm studying Economics and Data Science at UC Berkeley. The coursework builds the quantitative foundation, but most of what I've learned came from trying to build real things and figuring out what I got wrong.

I love connecting people and ideas. My best work tends to happen when there's a spreadsheet and a real conversation happening in the same room.

On AI

I use AI to move faster and go deeper. It handles the repetitive work so I can focus on what actually needs a person. I am not interested in replacing judgment or real conversation.
