Currently simulating reality for hypothesis testing at Experiential Labs. We've raised from YC and angels at Meta, TBD, GDM, Nvidia, Waabi, etc. Star our repo
I did work with the DOE to accelerate scientific discovery with AI. I ran a company that was in YC (StackwiseAI) for two years. Before that, I helped build AutoGPT to 160k stars, built the first agentic benchmark, and published it at NeurIPS. I've also done various ML and AI eng jobs as a contractor/founding engineer. I dropped out of a CS degree at Minerva University.
Some of my thoughts
My worldview combines verifiability of experience with biologically grounded utilitarianism. Through this lens I practice Stoic asceticism: a good life is virtuous, disciplined, and conviction driven.
Happiness is a function of eudaemonia and hedonia through the lenses of your worldview. For me, this means adding value and understanding the world better.
I'm hyper aware of my dopamine and regulate my environment as such. I did 12 dopamine fasts in 2025 (no eating, talking, reading, devices for 36 hours).
Some of my interests
I particularly enjoy history through late antiquity. The past is the present unrolled for understanding. The present is the past rolled up for action.
