I'm building Smithery to orchestrate the emerging agentic internet. During my teens, I taught myself programming and launched Minecraft mods that reached over 5 million downloads. In 2018, I joined UC San Diego's PhD program to research neural networks for music and natural language generation. 2 years later, I dropped out to co-found Jenni, an AI academic writing copilot. We scaled to 300K+ monthly active users and $7M+ annual recurring revenue before my exit in 2024. I'm curious about the nature of intelligence. I believe we won't truly understand ourselves until we can build machines that think like us.
