the diamond age: or, a techno-optimist's somewhat illustrated web page
About Me
I am a techno-optimist that sometimes thinks too much about Roko’s basilisk. I’ve been working in or studying AI for over a decade. Nowadays I’m working on making AI systems your teammate, and tinkering on various projects.
I angel invest occasionally, advise early stage AI startups, and consult for the right applied AI/ML problems. I love chatting with interesting people, and if you want to talk tech or new ideas, and we align in the space-time continuum hit me up.
I started programming when I was 13 while growing up in the Caribbean and continued my education in the northeast. After spending a little time in defense tech, I ended up on the west coast working for a variety of FAANGs (MAGMAs?) on applied AI projects before starting my own company.
I spend much of my time raising a budding human intelligence who needs a lot of data and training time. I also sail, work on hobby electronics projects, and try to stay active through competitive sports since we still can’t upload our brains.
