Currently at UniversalAGI where I'm building AI agents for government officials and training ML models that simulate race cars, submarines, drones, planes, and more. Before this, I worked at Palantir on AI Platform Research and AWS on observability infrastructure.
I've founded multiple startups including Hash Automation (crypto automation with $220k+ volume and $60k+ revenue) and Acre Communications (B2B VPN service with $80k revenue) and have built systems serving thousands of users.
I graduated from the University of Maryland with a B.S. in Computer Science & Statistics, and previously conducted research at Johns Hopkins on wearable sensor systems.
