About Me
I need to put more pictures on here.
Funny how we call it bio, huh? Almost like we're wet blob creatures, writing about ourselves.
I'm a software engineer, AI enthusiast, all around generalist. I love complex problems, reading, and eating food!
Family life
I grew up in a small state, moved to the best university in the nation (Boola Boola!), and then best nation in the world (Her Majesty's Imperial & United Kingdom, of course), before moving back to NYC. Nowadays, I travel around Bay area/NYC/midwest.
Career
- Engineering. What kind of engineering, you ask? Social engineering....
- Just kidding, I work at TikTok as an ML engineer. Recommendations is cool! A lot of people ask: what is recommendations actually like? And it turns out that it's pretty simple. Learn more!
- Before that, I worked at Wayve with Alex Kendall, Jeff Hawke, and a bunch of other people. Some of whom have gone on to start Odyssey, a really cool generative 3D startup! (did I tell you gaussian splats are cool?)
Areas of interest
- AI - See more thoughts on ai
- Entrepreneurship - I think not in the traditional sense, more like the stories of "how do you start something cool?". Some of my favorite entrepreneurship stories include: Sara Blakely putting shelves of her product in stores, and no one removing it bc each manager thought another manager had authorized it; Guy who started Athletic Brewing Co (makes non-alcoholic beer) and no one buys it, or even wants to work with him
- Investing - Love to connect to people who have a vision and want to make a difference (DM me on Twitter!)
- Crypto - I'm a big fan of crypto! Maybe will write more about it in the future
Where are we going now?
We're currently in a HUGE opportunity of making AI work for everyone.
So I'm going to start a company called ExXA (EXX AI) to help realize this dream.
My vision is that in 2-3 years, everyone will have ONE personal AI, not just a bunch of super-powerful AI tools. Everyone will have a personal AI, just like how everyone has their smartphone today.
The challenge is making this AI genuinely useful - how? The answer is in being incredibly thoughtful in the integrations we build, and by connecting you with other people -- like the WeChat strategy. AI is powerful when it allows you to connect better.
