2023 ·

AI Research & Systems

Led development of multi-modal AI systems and large-scale inference infrastructure. Pioneered techniques in reinforcement learning and autonomous reasoning systems for scientific applications.

2022 ·

Deep Tech Engineering

Worked at the frontier of AI and scientific computing, building systems that process petabyte-scale genomic datasets and high-performance simulation workloads.

2020 ·

Early Career

Started in software engineering with a focus on distributed systems and machine learning infrastructure. Became obsessed with applying computing to science's hardest problems.

Principles

How I think
about building.

Think in decades.

Short-term optimization is the enemy of profound technology. Every system we build is designed to compound in value over 10, 20, 50 years.

Science first, always.

Engineering without science is craft. We root every technical decision in first principles and empirical validation — not trends or convention.

Reliability is non-negotiable.

The systems that matter most — spacecraft, genomic platforms, AI models — cannot fail. We build with a six-sigma mentality from day one.

The impossible is just unsolved.

The problems we work on don't have known solutions. That's the point. Genuine technological progress requires attacking what no one else will.
