Built the physics-to-AI foundation at Waterloo
Studied Mathematical Physics at the University of Waterloo, drawn by theoretical physics, quantum computing, and the startup environment. That technical base became the launchpad for work in applied AI.

Helped start WOMBO, an AI entertainment company built around making advanced generative AI feel instant, viral, and usable by normal people.
As AI lead, helped solve the scalability problem for a lip-syncing AI app that reached roughly 50 million downloads, added around 500,000 downloads per day, and served 2 to 2.5 million daily active users during its early viral run.
Dream brought text-to-image generation to a mass consumer audience and was recognized as Google's App of the Year. Apple also featured WOMBO Dream as a developer spotlight.
WOMBO was listed in the first AI Grant company batch, the Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross-backed program for AI-native startups, alongside Perplexity, Cursor, Replicate, Chroma, and other early AI companies.
Helped launch Wombo Me, a single-selfie AI avatar app covered by TechCrunch for its instant avatar generation and longer-term multimodal identity direction.
WOMBO announced a $9 million round led by Round13 Digital Asset Fund, with participation from NVIDIA, CoreWeave, SBI, Web3.com, and others. By then WOMBO had surpassed 200 million downloads, with WOMBO and WOMBO Dream both reaching #1 in more than 100 countries.
Founded OMEGA Labs to work on open-source AGI infrastructure, OMEGA Focus, screen-aware AI, and systems that maximize human agency and reduce suffering.
Started publishing essays, frameworks, research syntheses, and personal operating-system artifacts directly to the web. The site is meant to keep getting richer as more work, media, and receipts accumulate.
