Based in San Francisco. I spend most of my time in product, engineering, and AI research. I write occasionally.
I used to study at the USC Iovine & Young Academy, but I dropped out twice. I led USC's flagship startup incubator and helped incubate 20+ startups.
In high school, I built Hours, a virtual studying platform with over 2M+ users that was acquired in 2021. I was the youngest founder in the YC W23 batch, I'm an Atlas Fellow , and an Emergent Ventures Fellow.
I invest in AI apps & infra as an a16z scout. If you're building something, contact me at me@calix.dev.
