I like building things and solving deep technical problems. Mostly thinking about agents these days, but happy to chat about anything from CRDTs, to video encoding, to multimodal expansion, to duplex voice models, or really anything else interesting.

Currently doing things at Composio. One of the leaders in the org, spending most of my time across product, eng and hiring. DM me if you want to work together.

Sometimes write tiny checks into companies like Sabi, Hydra and more.

Spent 2024 researching end-to-end conversational speech models at South Park Commons.

Before that, founded Scalar, a collaborative video editing platform, with Zack. It did not work out; here is the post-mortem.

Dropped out of the University of Toronto.

I live in San Francisco. A lot of my closest friends started out as internet friends, so if you are around, let us get coffee.
