I'm the Head of AI at ClickUp, where I lead our work on agents for general-purpose knowledge work.

Previously I founded Codegen, backed by Thrive, ran async coding agents in enterprise contracts with firms including Ramp, Notion and IronClad. Acquired by ClickUp in 2025, built AI-driven shopping, intelligent data systems at Palantir, and studied CS/AI at Stanford.

This is my actual name and not a pseudonym.
