Welcome! I'm excited to share the innovative projects that I'm currently working on, alongside my friend & business partner, Matan Rieger, as well as Luna, Alexander Lee, and Ruby Sinder. Together, we are committed to developing a range of entrepreneurial ventures and large projects that combine our passion for entrepreneurship, technology, 3D modeling, and various other topics. Below is an overview of our ongoing and future projects, including the development of a cutting-edge question-and-answer (Q&A) site, a to-scale Hogwarts recreation for Harry Potter fans to visit, and a set of “Backrooms”-related projects.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue to bring these ventures to life!

Q&A site:
We are in the early stages of developing an innovative question-and-answer (Q&A) platform. Our mission is, "Spreading knowledge, life experiences, and gaining a better understanding of the universe around us". Our goal is to create a space where users can ask and answer questions. And especially with the rise of AI chatbots nowadays, it's important to have a site like this run by real people, because AI cannot foster a community of shared knowledge, expertise, and different perspectives like real people can, and AI is often prone to hallucination. And we also will have helpful features, utilize techniques to mitigate trolls and spam, and deploy non-paywall nor heavily ad-reliant site revenue techniques to help keep the site alive.

Projects that are in development but on pause for now as we focus on other initiatives.
I'm currently a student at Muhlenberg College, where the campus has a vibrant student life with a variety of clubs (known as “Student Organizations”, all run by students). I've had the opportunity to start two of my own clubs, 'co-revive' another, serve on the board of one, and be an active member in several others. Below, I'll be sharing my involvement and leadership roles across these campus organizations.
Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to contribute to and energize these student organizations!
The 'Berg Pokémon Club:
I founded and currently am the President of/run the Muhlenberg Pokémon Club, also referred to as the 'Berg Pokémon Club, or simply, just the "Pokémon Club" (in the context of Muhlenberg). I formally and officially established the club through a bureaucratic application/presentation process through the college's Student Government Association. I, along with the club's board, organize in-person meetings, for, and about, Pokémon, where we engage in all aspects of the franchise, including the Pokémon video games, the Trading Card Game (TCG), Pokémon Go, Pokémon Showdown, and we even have the original Pokémon board game from the '90s, "Pokémon: Master Trainer", and more.
The 'Berg Harry Potter Club:
I founded and currently am the President of/run the Muhlenberg Harry Potter Club, also referred to as the 'Berg Harry Potter Club, or simply, just the "Harry Potter Club"/"HP Club" (in context of Muhlenberg). I formally established the club through an application/presentation process. I, along with the club's board, organize in-person meetings, for, and about, Harry Potter. The club is meant for anyone & everyone, ranging from people who know little about the series and would like to learn, to the best Aurors and dark wizards looking to connect with other Potterheads.
The 'Berg Fencing Club:
I 'co-revived' and run/am the President of the 'Berg Fencing Club on campus. The Fencing Club at Muhlenberg has been around for a long time, but after the 2022-2023 academic year, the club's President was a senior and graduated, and nobody took it over, so it wasn't around for a semester. So in the second semester of the 2023-2024 academic year, another fellow student/friend of mine, Ryan Steremberg, and I 'co-revived' the club; we brought it back, and re-established it.
In the past, Co-Coach Paul McAndrew would come in to help teach, and the then-President & current Co-Coach, Noah Katz (now a Muhlenberg alum, Class of 2023), would also teach those wanting to learn to fence. Ryan reached out to them both near the beginning of the second semester of the 2023-2024 academic year, and both now come to the Fencing Club again to teach those who want to learn.
For the Fencing Club, we provide the gear (owned by the club/the college), and we teach fencing, starting with the basics. So, no equipment or experience is needed in order to join the club. It is a low-stakes, high-fun way to learn how to fence, and to fence with others!
MBGA (Muhlenberg Board Game Association):
I didn't start (or “revive”) the MBGA. But I am the Secretary of the club, so I help with the club's social media and communications, and aid in anything that the President of the club thinks should be done. Board games are provided, and members can also bring their own. The club meets weekly.
MAC (Muhlenberg Activities Council):
The Muhlenberg Activities Council (MAC) is responsible for planning and organizing a wide variety of campus-wide events throughout the year. From social gatherings to performances, MAC strives to provide fun and engaging activities that bring the Muhlenberg community together. We work to create memorable experiences for fellow students, whether it's hosting themed parties, a trivia or bingo night, movie nights, or other major events that enhance student life.
The Israeli Dance Troupe:
Muhlenberg's Israeli Dance Troupe, “Lehakat Me'hatchala”/“להקת מהתחלה”, is a group dedicated to learning and performing newly-choreographed dances to Israeli music. Every year, we learn a new dance, which culminates in a performance at the Boston Israeli Folkdance Festival, DC's Israeli Folkdance Festival, and/or Manhattan's Israeli Folkdance Festival.
Wall Street Club:
Muhlenberg's Wall Street Club is a student-led organization focused on learning about the financial markets, investment strategies, and career opportunities in the finance industry. Through discussions and guest speakers, members gain knowledge of how the stock market works, along with the latest trends and tools in the industry.
Jewelry-Making Club:
Muhlenberg's Jewelry-Making Club is a community where students can create unique, handcrafted jewelry. From designing necklaces and bracelets, to more advanced techniques like metalworking and soldering, it offers a wide range of jewelry-making opportunities. I've created some bracelets, a necklace, and am currently working on a metal design.
