Bio

I am Head of Artificial Intelligence at Rokos Capital Management. Previously, I was a Technical Lead at Meta where I worked on Llama, Director of Machine Learning at Twilio, and was CEO & Founder of Vai Technologies, which was acquired by Twilio.

I am an active angel investor, and am particularly drawn to early-stage startups that have one or more of the following traits: AI-focused, API-focused, or B2B.

For many years, I was in academia working at the intersection of Deep Learning and High Energy Particle Physics. I held appointments at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), SLAC, and CERN. A somewhat complete list of publications can be found on my Google Scholar.

I earned a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Yale University and an M.S. in Computational Mathematics from Stanford University.
