Aadi studied Social Data Analytics at University College Dublin. Since then, he's worked in Dublin for Coinbase's public policy team. He works on EMEA crypto currency policy. He graduated from Cornell with a degree in Policy Analysis & Management. While there, he co-founded and was CEO of Polici.org, a startup that uses machine learning techniques to summarize peer-reviewed academic research papers to an eighth grade reading level and disseminates those summaries to traditionally underserved populations. The start-up received several awards and was accepted to accelerator programs. Aadi served as the President of the Cornell International Affairs Review and founded Cornell’s Office of Student Government Relations. He was also a research assistant on an NSF funded project with researchers at Cornell, Microsoft Research, and UC Berkeley, assisting in automating data collection and designing methods related to ethics in technical college departments. He contributed to findings suggesting a major lack of ethics education for students building our technological future. Aadi was an intern for Senator Cory Booker; for the House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce; and was a Campaign Fellow for Biden for President serving as an aide to the National Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Director. As a Research Associate for Harvard Law School’s Library Innovation Lab, he helped build legal technology by integrating 50 state codes to H20, an open casebook platform, in Python, Java and HTML. Aadi wants to dedicate his career to the process of digitizing government to bring basic services to Americans in an accessible and cost-effective way.
