About

I started building software at 14 and later focused my work at the intersection of AI, design, and architecture through research at Cornell Tech. I went on to found Gaia Computer Technologies, a VC-backed startup building AI design tools for architects, and I’m now a PhD researcher at the Technion, developing behavioral simulation interfaces for generative architecture within the EU-funded SONATA project. Through Metyis and Hermetica, I consult across Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East on AI agents, digital products, and growth, helping ventures from pre-seed to Series D and contributing to over $50M raised.
