GenAI Engineer from now based in SF

When I was 18, I realized I enjoyed building software too much to stay in school, so I skipped college and immediately founded a startup called Telos AI, funded by UC Berkeley's Skydeck program.

We set out to build the thing that intrigued us the most: a cognitive OS that lets enterprise-scale complex systems be modeled, understood, simulated, and acted upon in real time by both AI and humans. Many of the underlying technologies and principles were inspired by MMOs and strategy games, which we felt offered a stronger paradigm than traditional approaches. The closest analog today is something like Palantir Foundry, in principle, and AWS GameLift, technologically.

I'm currently helping Prosper in San Francisco become an AI-first company by designing and building their GenAI platform, which I recently spoke about in an interview with Langchain.

My current obsession: figuring out how to safely build self-creating and self-updating meta-agents. Meta-agents are systems that continually observe work streams and activity logs, identify high-impact problems worth solving, and then autonomously create and deploy new agents to solve them. They also proactively reach out to employees via Slack/email, treating them as an additional knowledge source for filling in the tacit knowledge gaps. The goal is to invert the relationship: humans assist AI, not the other way around.
