Ethan Kolasky

Technologist, AI researcher, and entrepreneur. Co-Founder and CTO at Alaris Security, building the core technology stack for intelligent cyber security. My work applies emerging AI techniques to real world cyber defense use-cases, spanning the gap from theoretical research to real-world implementation. Autodidact in AI. I independently completed the Stanford AI master’s curriculum—exams, homework, and projects included. Read hundred of AI papers with a focus on language models, reinforcement learning, and generative modeling techniques. In college I founded an event ticketing startup in college, scaling it to 15,000 users and profitability. Received an offer from a competitor, which I turned down because it would have required me to drop out of school. Studied mechanical engineering at USC, with a minor in Physics. Applied mechanical engineering in the defense industry by assisting in the development of a microchip delayering and imaging system to detect supply chain attacks.
