I was born in San Diego and moved around the bay before finding a home in Fremont, California. I like living here; the town offers a community but leaves you alone with your thoughts enough to be your own person. I do not think I have become the person I want to be yet.

I spend my most of time building Aesara, working on information machines and chasing AGI. This summer, I will be working on Engineering at Artificial Societies in London, building Artificial Collective Intelligence.

I split my free time on research at Cohere Labs on multilingual language models, leading Celeritas Research for bootstrapped scaled autonomous racing, and building products at Lipsti.cc to make the internet pop again. I also did some contract work earlier this year at Clado (prev. Linkd), building out a beta of their search and discovery infrastructure from scratch, for an interesting and scalable social medium.

Before that, I founded Silicon Valley Brain Company, where we worked on neuromodulation to make you superhuman, backed by Google AI. Our hypothesis was that it should be possible to manufacture focus by leveraging deep neural networks to stimulate specific neural cortexes. We spent some time on open research as well.

Previously, I worked as an apprentice at Google, where I built AI-enabled discussion over Google Classroom, and did research at a stealth startup, where I worked on infinite context length in constant time for language models.

For fun, I love to help organize events and competitions. I like to lift heavy weights, read and write, audit courses at Stanford, and hack in San Francisco. I absolutely love building side projects.
