Computer engineering B.S. University of California, Santa Barbara.
Spearheaded AI for science research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, twice. Explored inverse optimization of hydrodynamic physics simulations using attention-based diffusion models.
Designed the novel "Large Stock Model (LSM)" (Nparam Bull V1) to predict asset price fluctuations from textual market data at high speeds (without using a traditional LLM decoder).
Organizing/organized SBHacks, ShowerHacks, SigmoidHacks.
I built a people-search platform called Fizzbase.com; it uses agentic AI search and RAG-based vector search and has indexed 120K professionals in SF. I built Coralflavor.com, a ChatGPT alternative without prompt-rejection, focusing on information freedom. I made graphical visualization of every startup on TrustMRR based on UMAP-compressed semantic embeddings and their MRR.
