- Angel investing in and advising early-stage AI and deep-tech startups. - Helping technical people make the leap — research to startup, IC to operator. - Turning frontier, research-heavy work into something commercially real. I started out as a computational astrophysicist, running large-scale simulations of galaxies and black holes on GPU clusters (PhD summa cum laude; NASA Hubble Fellow at Columbia). Then I jumped into industry as a founding data scientist at QuantCo, where I spent six years building forecasting and causal-inference systems for Fortune 500s — and helped scale the company from pre-seed through hypergrowth. Today I work in AI strategy at Apple. Separately, in a personal capacity, I invest in startups and enjoy helping founders across AI, deep tech, and data. If you're a technical founder trying to commercialize something hard, sharpen your fundraising story, or figure out your own next move — that's the conversation I love. Let's talk. 🚀
