01About
I'm 19, originally from West Vancouver, Canada. I left Carnegie Mellon's computer science program to build full-time, backed as a Z Fellow. Today I'm co-founder and CEO of Attention Engineering, where we're building an AI desktop assistant.
I care about tools that augment how people think and work - software that gets out of the way and gives you leverage.
