I'm a Computer Science graduate from Dartmouth College, Class of 2026.
I build and research AI systems, especially in voice, language, agents, and products that move from research into the real world.
-
Akili — Building voice AI for languages that today's major AI systems still don't support. I'm currently working on speech recognition, speech generation, data infrastructure, and real-world deployments.
-
AI agents that follow the law — Previously worked on systems for making AI agents comply with laws and regulations, including building structured legal infrastructure across U.S. law.
-
AI products — I've built and shipped products across voice AI, language learning, legal AI, education, and agent infrastructure.
My research focuses on language technology under extreme data scarcity.
For my undergraduate thesis, I built machine translation and speech systems for Adja, a language with very little existing digital data.
Some of my work includes:
- Machine translation for extremely low-resource languages
- Automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech
- Building language datasets from scratch
- Multilingual AI and language model evaluation
I've published research at LREC and PSB.
- Orphi — A voice-first language learning app for practicing unscripted conversations with an AI tutor.
- Adja language technology — Built datasets and some of the first machine translation and speech systems for Adja.
- Legal AI infrastructure — Worked on building a structured database of U.S. laws for AI agents operating in regulated environments.
- Agents — Experimenting with autonomous agents, agent collaboration, computer use, and the infrastructure needed for agents to do useful work in the real world.
- B.A. in Computer Science, Dartmouth College, June 2026
- King Scholar and Stamps Scholar
- Ranked #1 out of 80,000+ students on Benin's national baccalauréat
- Undergraduate thesis awarded High Honors in Computer Science
- Built language technology from the ground up for my native language, Adja
- Adja · French · English · Mandarin
AI agents · voice AI · multilingual AI · robotics · language models · new interfaces · ambitious technical products
I like talking to people working on hard problems, especially problems where the answer isn't obvious yet.

I believe this is the golden age of building, so let's build.
