I currently live in San Francisco, CA and work at Cognition Labs. Before this, I started and sold Superdrop, an AI company backed by Lux Capital, Box Group, A-Star, and others. I grew up in Romania and studied at Princeton.
Areas of interest:
- AI-enabled services: How can we use AI to grow great services companies? This is our mission.
- Consumer AI: What is the next big consumer app? Tried to explore this at Superdrop by building:
- Developer tools: In my heart, I have a special place for tools that make programmers more productive. I was a software engineer at Retool and I'm the author of some useful open-source libraries, including form-genie and promptfactory.
- Crypto: Growing up in Romania, I learned not to take economic freedom for granted. I'm excited about technologies that enable it.
- I worked on Marble Wallet, a wallet that would make it easier for anyone to own digital assets and interact with web3 apps.
- I also contributed to Balaji Srinivasan's 1729 project.
- Brain-machine interfaces: I'm really excited about this field (I wrote my undergraduate thesis on using BMIs to translate thoughts into speech). I believe that this field will grow in importance as AGI gets closer.
