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

I split my free time on research at Cohere for AI on multilingual language models, leading Celeritas Research for bootstrapped scaled autonomous racing, and building products at Lipsti.cc to make the internet beautiful again. I also did some contract work in earlier this year at Linkd, building out their search and discovery infrastructure for a new 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 computationally manufacture focus by stimulating specific neural cortexes. We spent some time on open research as well. Ultimately, we decided that we were ahead of our time (tons of startups working on this now, not as much before).

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.

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.

I use X as a log for new things I work on. Reach me there, on LinkedIn, or at [email protected].
