About

I’m building at the intersection of AI, human potential, and the evolving architecture of work — shaping how the next generation of organizations will be born, grow, and thrive. My current journey involves architecting platforms that quietly power transformative teams, enabling them to operate beyond traditional boundaries. As Co-Founder of an AI-driven venture (HF0 ’25 | NVIDIA Inception), my work focuses on rethinking the entire lifecycle of global talent and organizational design — not as it exists today, but as it could exist in a decade. We operate in the background, providing the invisible infrastructure that allows bold ideas and visionary teams to move faster, scale smarter, and unlock their fullest potential. I also co-founded OpenNetwork, a 501(c)(3) community born inside Silicon Valley’s historic “Facebook House,” where over 100 private AI salons have gathered founders, investors, and researchers to explore frontier ideas. Our focus: cultivating trust networks that will define how innovation ecosystems emerge in the age of intelligent systems. Grounded in Columbia Business School’s value-driven mindset — and inspired by the philosophy of long-term investing in people — I work with forward-thinking leaders to bridge AI, organizational architecture, and human capital, building ecosystems where talent becomes the ultimate growth engine. If you’re exploring what the next era of work looks like — and how to prepare for it — we should connect.

OpenNetwork | Open-Source Spirit, AI Innovation, Human Potential OpenNetwork is a Silicon Valley-born nonprofit organization (NPO) dedicated to advancing open innovation in AI. It was founded upon one year of community building at Facebook House (1743 Westbrook Ave, Los Altos, CA)—the birthplace of Meta and a historic hub for entrepreneurship. Originally home to Mark Zuckerberg when he built Facebook in 2004 and later Airbnb’s Brian Chesky, Facebook House evolved into a thriving AI pioneer community, hosting curated deep-tech discussions, AI salons, and founder-investor collaborations. From this foundation, Open Network emerged as a global platform uniting top AI researchers, startup founders, and deep-tech investors to translate breakthroughs into real-world impact. We partner with OpenAI, X.AI, Anthropic, Microsoft Azure AI, AWS, and Google Cloud, ensuring AI pioneers have the infrastructure, funding, and community support to scale frontier innovations. 📩 Join us in shaping the next era of AI—open, collaborative, and transformative. 🚀

【Facebook House】- Global AI Pioneer Community Facebook House stands as a historic hub for innovation and entrepreneurial exchange. This iconic location served as Mark Zuckerberg’s residence in 2004 during the founding of Meta (Facebook) and was also the childhood home of Brian Chesky, the visionary behind Airbnb. Today, Facebook House is dedicated to fostering the next generation of geek innovators, providing a dynamic space where groundbreaking ideas come to life. Through curated entrepreneurial events and collaboration opportunities, it aims to incubate world-changing companies, aspiring to nurture the next Meta or Airbnb. As the Fund Manager, I am committed to leveraging this legacy to inspire and empower future tech leaders to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

HF0: The Residency for Technical Builders HF0 (Hacker Fellowship Zero) is an intense, 12-week residency program located in San Francisco, designed exclusively for elite technical founders. Unlike traditional accelerators that emphasize curriculum and networking events, HF0's core philosophy is radical focus. It removes all distractions—no workshops, no guest speakers, no busywork—to create an immersive environment dedicated purely to "deep work," coding, and product execution alongside peers of similar caliber. The program culminates in a highly anticipated Demo Day for top-tier venture capitalists. It is often described as the most productive three months of a technical founder's career.
