Personal Interest: I am passionate about the intersection of AI and humanity, finding ways for humans to lead technology in realizing our highest potential. When I’m not exploring how humanity can embrace technology, I enjoy cooking meals for my wife and two kids, going on picnics, exploring nature, and reading.
