I'm the founder and CEO of Surge AI. We're an applied data lab, teaching the world’s most powerful models with the best of humanity.

We reached $1B+ in revenue with fewer than 100 people and zero venture capital, because every frontier lab kept coming back.

We chose this path because AGI requires uncompromising quality. Without outside funding, we have the freedom to prioritize research and rigor over fundraising and hype.

Before Surge, I was a research scientist at Google, Facebook, and Twitter, and studied math, CS, and linguistics at MIT.
