About Me

I'm an adventure capitalist turned researcher, exploring the intersection of AI, science, and mathematics.

In my previous life, I was fortunate to back founders building incredible companies, including Harmonic, Learning Machine Co., Sedona, AMI Labs, Periodic Labs, and Black Forest Labs.

I was previously a research analyst at an oil & gas hedge fund, after which I joined SK hynix's growth investment team. I spearheaded SK's investments in carbon capture technologies and got to marvel at the colossal engineering behind power plants.

Most weekends, I'm splitting time between two or three books and refreshing Craigslist for vintage guitars.
