Interests
- People. I genuinely like people, and enjoy the pleasure of working hard with others.
- AI: I experienced firsthand the transition from old Machine Learning to Deep Learning in the early 2010s; I just love the algorithmic part, and have both worked & followed it ever since.
- Physics behind technology: anything, from the physics of sound and image to micro-controllers, and signal processing.
- Programmable Blockchains, like Ethereum, the core reasons why they work, Zero-knowledge, and scaling.
- Entrepreneurship: figuring out novel uses of the technology I'm exposed to, and the beautiful art of bringing them to reality.
- String Theory, AdS/CFT correspondence, Quantum description of Black Holes, Cosmology and supergravity in general. (what is this??)
