I'm a technical generalist, well-versed in various aspects of building and scaling intelligent software. I love synthesizing ideas from different fields and learning new mental models.

My first love was in frontend development and creating great user experiences. It quickly morphed with backend development – building products from A to Z.
While perfecting my craft in 'traditional' software development, I became aware of the progress in data-science and machine learning. Being quite familiar with discrete math and statistical reasoning from my studies, the power of these tools was unlike anything I had ever seen. I simply have to learn how to master these superpowers.

I've been passionate about understanding Intelligence for as long as I can remember. The advent of biologically inspired machine intelligence has turned this into an obsession. Being both terrified and excited about future possibilities, I want to do whatever I can to maximize the probabilities of a positive one.

I believe that neurotechnology – brain-computer interfaces, in particular, is the key to our enlightened future. It’s the next BIG platform. The platform that will fundamentally change what it is to be human, and help us evolve.

I’m grateful to be alive in these exponential times, with an opportunity to dream and build the future!
