I am working on tackling robotics and AI by throwing out almost all of the existing paradigms. Instead, I want to develop and refine ideas around artificial life, virtual biology, etc. This will draw heavily on simulations, and biological principles. Furthermore, I am seeking to stand up a new type of organization to do this, a cross between a venture-studio, research-lab, and a traditional start-up.

I'm interested in exploring applications of AI and LLM models into fields from search, recommendations, SWE productivity, or creative productivity tooling. I've worked on products, teams, and systems in ML and data, and has built teams from early to late stage at consumer social, B2B SaaS (security) and looking into new domains.
