Hi, I'm Richard.

I'm a software engineer based in New York, NY. I'm currently with Arta Finance, where I work with a small but scrappy group to make the financial superpowers of the ultra-wealthy more accessible. Thus far, I’ve focused on scaling financial infrastructure, launching core products for our members, and integrating AI to level-up both our internal workflows and investment offerings.

Before that I was at Google for 5+ years, where I worked on several initiatives within Maps including contextual notifications, crisis response, and accessibility. Beyond engineering, I am also a lead instructor at Codepath.org, where I have taught technical problem solving with data structures and algorithms to thousands of students over the past half-decade.

My alma mater is The University of Iowa where I graduated with Bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Music. In my free time, I enjoy working on my golf game, seeing the world, and grooving to some of my go-to tracks.

You can find me on LinkedIn or email me at connect@yrsu.me. Thanks for stopping by!
