YC-Backed Founder | AI/ML Startup Expert | Build with LLMs

I started my career by founding a quant hedge fund, where we used a variety of ML techniques to build predictive models. Then I founded a YC-backed AI infra startup called Superpowered AI. We built one of the first RAG-as-a-service platforms, where we served over 10k users. I now work as an AI coach and consultant and maintain a popular open-source AI project called dsRAG, which has 1.5k stars on GitHub.
