About

I'm a thiel fellow, adventurer, and engineer.

I last worked at Neuralink, where I did machine learning research for the brain and led speech applications.

but who can wear just one hat? I also wrote neuralink.com, developed games for monkeys, and help maintain the Link App. Some technologies I used on a daily basis included Python, Pytorch, Typescript, React, Swift and Rust.

Living

I'm really into mycology, and in my spare time memorize the mushrooms of the Sierra Nevada.

I'm a sucker for curiosity. Bertrand Russell's words on Apricots resonate with me.

I used to work at Chess.com and have the bad bullet habits to show for it. Shoot me a game!

My twin sister studies media and human rights @ Cal — and I love good writing and clear thinking myself.

Last year, I was a supercommuter between school at Georgia Tech and Neuralink in California. I continued both full-time.

"he's intense" — everyone. would I live any other way?

Adventures

I like doing hard things in work and in life.

Recently, I...

Hiked the 500 mile Colorado Trail over the course of a month
Biked from Santa Barbara to LA
Did halfdome and cloud's rest in the same day... in crocs.
Ran a marathon with no training and lots of pain
Did the "Beer Donut 50" (IYKYK)
