I grew up in Connecticut, went to MIT, worked on robotic cheetahs, and then spent 5 years building algorithmic trading systems at various quant firms in New York.
Most notably, I was an early quant at an Akuna Capital spinout backed by Millennium's family office, later becoming CTO before getting acquihired by another trading firm.
Currently interested in early-stage AI startups.
