Top 10 AI dev on GitHub. Featured in WIRED & ~40+ publications, twice. Dropped my a16z-startup internship to build Sentient OS in SF. Launched Jul 19th to 1,500+ users in 24 hours.


What I'm Building

Co-founder, Sentient OS (sentient-os.ai) — An on-device LLM understands your entire life, then proactively offers to get your work done through computer use.

  • Every night, it reads what's new (files, screenshots, WhatsApp, iMessage, email) in your life entirely locally to create the deepest memory of you any AI has ever had.
  • Every morning, your work is already done: the reply you forgot, drafted; the subscription you meant to cancel, caught. One click to fire.
  • Click your notch anywhere, and Sidekick drops from the notch let you ask it to "finish this for me" -- it'll take over your gruntwork using computer use.
  • Raw data never leaves your Mac. No accounts, ever. Open source (AGPL).
  • 2,500+ waitlisted in 24h, and 1,500+ users on day one — top post on r/macapps, $0 marketing.

Writing Tools — A system-wide AI writing assistant that beat Apple Intelligence to market and outperforms it. 2,300+ GitHub stars. 30,000+ users. Featured in 30+ major tech publications. Led a team of 8 contributors including senior engineers.

Bliss AI — A fine-tuned Gemini-powered STEM tutoring app for students in local curricula. 20,000+ questions answered. Nominated in the Google Gemini API Developer Competition.


👨‍💻 I love making the impossible possible:

a 2-min Reel showcasing some of the crazy stuff below!

  • Got iPadOS running on an iPhone with external monitor support — covered by WIRED & 39+ publications
  • First to extract system prompts from ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Sarvam AI, GitHub Copilot, Dia Browser, etc.
  • First to investigate Apple's 2025 neural accelerators embedded in GPU cores
  • Built a Hackintosh on a Dell XPS by reverse-engineering macOS internals
  • Got Minecraft running on a smartwatch
  • Been jailbreaking iOS and compiling custom Android ROMs since I was 8

🏆 A Few Highlights


🔬 Research

LLM Quantization & Reasoning — First comprehensive study on how quantization affects different types of critical thinking in LLMs. 5,000+ evaluation runs; preparing for publication.

ML Research with Dr. Hannah Rana, Harvard — Bayesian Optimization for cryocooler parameter prediction using Oxford experimental data. Co-authoring paper for the Journal of Cryogenics.

I'm always down to talk about LLMs, agentic AI, product design, or the oddly specific art of compressing a multimodal LLM without crushing its eyes.

  5. I extracted Microsoft Copilot's syst... I extracted Microsoft Copilot's system instructions—insane stuff here. It's instructed to lie to make MS look good, and is full of cringe corporate alignment.

    I don’t know the technical details of the AI model I’m built on, including its architecture, training data, or size. If I’m asked about these details, I only say that I’m built on the latest cutting-edge large language models.
