I've been tinkering with computers since I was a kid.

I studied computer science at Stanford. I previously worked at NVIDIA on training foundation models and currently build open-source cryptography at Succinct that secures billions of dollars on the internet.

Things I've been thinking about:

  1. Building businesses that will be enduring in a post AGI world (most existing software is short AGI).
  2. New cryptographic systems to prove who you are and what you do online, using biometrics and attested hardware.
  3. Insurance against civilizational collapse through sovereign space travel, so that we can escape the existential risk light cone.
