Welcome to my scratchpad! Will keep track of random notes and musings that for some reason are not fit for twitter (or other sorts of media) here.
background
I live in SF - I love it! Weather is good, vibes are great, food is tasty, what more can one ask for??
I currently work at a stealth startup that functions as a holding company, rolling up cash-flow positive businesses and adding tech. Most recently, I cofounded a company called [redacted but you can probably find it online] that had the ambitious goal of automating extremely manual architectural workflows with a mix of AI and complex optimization algorithms to help our team of superstar in-house architects actually complete real-estate projects end to end.
In addition, I worked on a couple small teams at Scale AI actively watching the evolution of several products scale from 0 to multi-million revenue businesses. I studied math and computer science at Stanford, where I did research in the CHARM, SNAP, and SAIL labs and also interned at places like Uber (SWE) and Nuro (ML).
When I'm not working, you can find me:
- pickup basketball
- hosting/playing in SF poker home games
- bughouse chess (i think i'm cracked but down to be proven otherwise)
- trying to revive the SSBU scene (I'm garbage)
- climbing recreationally (stuck at v3/v4 lol)
interests
- tech enabled services
- ai orchestration
- browser stuff
- angel investing
