President and Founder

A school for people to work on their own ideas.

Funded by Y-Combinator (YC S20) + Andreessen Horowitz.

Previously we were known as zipschool.com (Dec 2019 to August 2021) -- live science classes for kids K-5. We pivoted to buildspace in late August.

Founder

Built an augmented-reality app for restaurants. Ended up dying.

Co-Founder

Deep Learning Engineer

Went for 0-100. From knowing nothing about deep learning to developing a model that competed with Google Brain. Big shoutout to my mentor Kishan. Without whom I'd be trash. 

Worked on the task of end-to-end learn for self driving cars and in the process developed a novel model that utilized side task learning, saliency detection, and object detection. Built + trained model on the CommaAI dataset and achieved results that beat NVIDIAs released model.

Dealt with the usual - Python, Pandas, NumPy, TensorFlow, Keras.

Computer Vision Researcher

SightPlan was a small startup (around 18 people) and it was also my first real job ever. I did everything from customer support to adding new features to the product (Ruby on Rails / CouchBase). 

SightPlan taught me how dope startups are, the value of having a small team, and also how stressful it is working on a small team.

Software Engineer

Worked directly with TSM coaches/analysts to develop an API that aggregated various types of micro data from professional League of Legends games. Access to this data was virtually impossible via any pre existing API or technology due to the fact that the company who made the game simply doesn’t allow mainstream access to it. 


Gave people refunds and people screamed at me sometimes :(.

Customer Service

Started a company with my cousins selling t-shirts. Basically, I'd hire artists to make designs that were "in". For example, if Breaking Bad was getting hype we'd create a Breaking Bad design and the start selling the shirt in a day. Pretty successfully venture. Stopped because I got bored.

Did basically nothing here to be perfectly honest. Older, government contract companies move so slow that you literally just end up doing nothing.  But, the people were amazing! I also did did some cool stuff with C# and Unity to create an augmented reality training simulator for soldiers. 

Started a company that sold blank DVDs on eBay and Amazon. Brought in around $125k in gross revenue on a good year which means I was making more than my teachers (weird flex but ok).

Became a top-seller on eBay with up to 600 orders a month. Did everything myself including: inventory, packing, shipping, customer service. GOOD ASS TIMES U FEEL.
