The project was somewhat successful; it helped me realize the limits I put on myself and allowed me to loosen up my identity during the dates.

I met my husband through one of my projects, highlighting how these creative endeavors can lead to meaningful personal connections.

I built a website called Course Match to help students at Harvard connect based on the courses they were taking, which highlighted people's desire to understand their peers.

I started my podcast, The Social Radars, to reconnect with the startup community and share stories of triumph and failure from founders. I wanted to create informal conversations with startup founders so people could understand the real stories behind the startups, rather than just scripted media messages.

I developed a project where Twitch chat could control a Doom game instance by sending commands, creating a fun and interactive experience.

I co-founded a social app called Sober, aimed at helping people socialize after drinking, but it failed shortly after Snapchat launched, which had a similar concept.

After Kiko, we launched Justin.tv, a live streaming platform where I wore a camera on my head to broadcast my life.

I took time to reflect on my experiences and insights, which led me to develop a personalized dinner subscription service that ultimately succeeded.

I studied computer science and art at MIT, where I felt I didn't learn social skills, leading to my interest in creating tools to help with social interactions.
