Bio:
I am a NYC-based software investor and entrepreneur. I was an early employee at Roivant Sciences (NASDAQ:ROIV, a $9b+ pharma and technology holding company), where I led controlling investments in AI software companies. Before Roivant, I worked at Ellington Management (a $10b+ NYC-based hedge fund) after finishing a BA and PhD in Algebraic Geometry at Harvard and U. Chicago. For my PhD, I worked under Mark Kisin at Harvard to prove a special case of a variant of Grothendieck's p-curvature conjecture for non-abelian Hodge theory.
