I'm a cofounder at GSI, a startup focused on scaling physical intelligence grounded in real-world human data. More broadly, I think about how hardware will change our interactions with AI, and who will build it. In a past life, I trained as a concert pianist.
I studied Mathematics at Stanford. As an undergraduate, I researched speech models at NVIDIA, worked on Andrej Karpathy's AI team at Tesla, and helped create Stanford's PhD GANs class. Later, I was a researcher at CSM (acquired by Google DeepMind in 2026), building 3D foundation models.
