About

My journey in AI began with a fascination for how machines can mimic human reasoning. As an AI Research Scientist at Google Research, I focus on advancing natural language processing models, particularly in multilingual contexts. My work involves designing experiments, fine-tuning large language models, and ensuring ethical considerations are embedded in our solutions. I thrive on solving complex problems, whether it’s optimizing model performance or addressing bias in datasets.

🎂 Built a 500‑customer B2B SaaS before I turned 18 – AMA

At 15 I trained my first machine learning model and landed an internship at a U.S. company.
At 16 I launched my first startup and promptly ran it into the ground.
I learned more from that failure.

At 17 I launched Pleep, an AI sales rep that lets any business owner integrate AI into their sales workflow in under five minutes. Four months later I quit my job to work on it full time.

Why bother? I kept asking myself: Why isn t there an AI sales monopoly yet? My take: because most competitors deliver AI consultants that talk like robots and kill revenue.
We focused on building a real rep that:

  • Doesn t ask you to prompt or pick an LLM you just tell us about your business and we do the rest.

  • Talks like your top salesperson, not a bot.

  • Books meetings and pushes data back into your CRM.

Are we optimizing our way out of good products?

Every metric can be improved. Every screen can convert better. Every flow can be 5% more efficient.

But lately I ve been wondering, at what point does optimization start subtracting from the soul of a product?

When do smoother funnels make things feel flatter?

Some of my favorite products aren t perfect. They re a little weird. A little slow. A little human.
