πŸš€ About Me

At 11, I built my first Unity game.
At 13, I made $500 betting on sports with arbitrage (before getting banned πŸ˜…).
At 15, I mastered Python and JavaScript through CS50 and Udemy.
At 16, I discovered AI β€” and haven’t looked back since.
At 17, I founded Vector, raised $81K, and started building Cursor, a next-gen AI-powered coding platform for game developers (backed by Spur Ventures).

I’ve been fortunate to learn from founders at Y Combinator, a16z, and Launch Lab, and now I help scout new startups with LvlUp Ventures.

πŸ’¬ I love building tools that merge creativity with intelligence β€” from neural agents to dynamic web systems.
