I’m currently taking a gap year and building LLMarena.ai, 1600.lol, and Veo3gen.app.
A few months ago, I had applied to U.S. universities, and was waitlisted at Columbia, but rejected everywhere else. This was mostly due to me procrastinating on my applications till last minute. I hope to do better this year.
Previously, I was accepted into Y Combinator’s AI Startup School, built Watch-Out (an AI-powered earthquake safety project moving toward a patent), and created countless.dev, a tool with 40k+ users exploring AI models. I’ve interned at HyperbeeAI (a Silicon Valley AI startup) and Koç University (blockchain research).
Some things I’m interested in:
- What should I be doing right now to be the person who creates the next Microsoft/Google?
- Consumer apps
- Tech for disaster prevention and climate resilience
- Writing
My long-term ambition is to make humanity an interplanetary species. It's obviously important, and most people don't seem to care, so I'll do it.
My DMs are open. Feel free to reach out!
