I started my journey learning computer engineering in University, and quickly jumped into hackathons and competitive programming. I was hooked by graph theory and string algorithms, which immediately opened the door for deep diving into building AI based solutions.

Why are you at MilkStraw AI?

When I was approached by the MilkStraw AI team, I was impressed by the solution and the potential of what they are building. The vision is big and the caliber of the team matches it, I wanted to be around A+ players. Also, I worked previously in an early stage company and the impact I was able to deliver was unmatched, I wanted to be in that position again.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find myself inspired when i'm talking to friends building solutions to problems. Not necessarily in tech, It can be a social issue. I feel that being around people who love solving problems is my main source of inspiration.
