Building the future of 3D reconstruction in San Francisco, CA.

A few things about me:

• Graduated (early) with a CS degree from UT Austin in May 2024
• Running a hacker house in SF, sf parc
• Founding a startup building the first AI-driven sparse-view 3D scene reconstruction system of its kind (P.S. we're raising)
• Previously did a lot of machine learning research & more

Past obsessions:

• GPU chip design for AI acceleration
• Reinforcement learning. Ask me about
  • My project on controllable, pure-RL methods for character animation (no reference videos needed!)
  • The time I tried to RL an old Lego Mindstorms robot to move around my house
• AI search, retrieval, and internet-scale adaptive web scraping
  • My investigation into an end-to-end differentiable search index
  • This used to be part of the startup I worked on, so I still have a lot of notes and thoughts on this & AI agent frameworks
• Hotfire testing rocket engines @ Texas Rocket Engineering Lab
• Welcoming talented students into tech/entrepreneurship with Texas Momentum, Texas Venture Group, and Kappa Theta Pi
