Product @ Google & YouTube, Co-Founder @ Hydra Ventures
I'm currently a product leader at Google & YouTube with experience building AI products from 0 to 1 and at multibillion user scale, a former exited AI x digital health startup founder with a technical background in ML, and have experience investing as both an institutional early stage / growth equity venture capital investor and an angel investor with a focus on AI, crypto and biotech/techbio. Hydra Ventures (https://hydraventures.xyz/) is the primary vehicle I use to invest in AI, bio & crypto including verticals such as generative AI, decentralized science, zero-knowledge proofs, and decentralized social among other areas. My academic training is in both AI/ML research at Georgia Tech and biomedical engineering at UPenn.
