I'm an AI engineer and entrepreneur developing the future of technology. I'm currently the co-founder of a stealth startup building security for superintelligent AI systems. I've spent the last decade engineering frontier AI systems (computer use, reasoning, verification) and working at the intersection of AI and national security.
I've built state-of-the-art AI models that turn text into keyboard/mouse actions (NeurIPS 2023), created a system for scaling test-time compute to improve LLMs without additional training (CoLM 2025), and developed train-time RL algorithms that teach LLMs to reason during pretraining (LanGame @NeurIPS 2024). I've also created AI algorithms to help diagnose cancer, built the entire ML infrastructure for a top surgical navigation company, built AI to simulate cities for the defense sector, and invented new neural network architectures inspired by the human brain. In my free time, I enjoy coding systems from scratch in C/C++, including operating systems, 3D rendering engines, and game engines.
I first fell in love with the field of AI since it was the bridge between both of my passions: the brain and technology. Since then, I have spoken at various international conferences with the aim of educating and inspiring others to think about future of AI. To ensure a positive future for humanity alongside general AI, we must ask and explore these questions now.
My goal is to secure superintelligence and help humanity reach a new evolutionary step. Most importantly, to keep humanity safe and secure our future alongside superintelligent AI systems.
