## Headline

Founder \| Building in Stealth \| Thiel Fellowship Finalist \| IIMA Ventures × OpenAI AI Summer Residency

## About

I build infrastructure for technologies that are becoming foundational\. I'm drawn to hard engineering problems, AI systems, distributed infrastructure, developer platforms, and the interfaces between software and the physical world\. I enjoy building the layers that enable thousands of other builders to create products, rather than building end\-user applications alone\. I'm currently building a company in stealth\. Previously, I created create\-llm, an open\-source framework that simplifies LLM training\. It reached \#5 on Hacker News Show HN and is now used by developers at companies including AWS, Microsoft, Google, and other technology organizations, alongside an active global open\-source community\. I also built AIP Protocol, an open\-source identity and authorization protocol for autonomous AI agents focused on verifiable trust and secure agent interactions\. My work has been recognized through selection as a Thiel Fellowship Finalist and the IIMA Ventures × OpenAI AI Summer Residency\. These experiences reinforced my ambition to build foundational technology with long\-term impact\. I'm particularly interested in AI infrastructure, Earth observation, distributed systems, developer tools, and the next generation of intelligent software\. Always happy to connect with founders, researchers, engineers, and people who enjoy solving difficult technical problems\.
