Co-founder and CEO of Checksum AI. Previously CTO at a YC startup, product at Google, and before all of that, a navy guy.

Cool things I built in the past:

• A movie recommendation app during COVID that went viral for a moment (1M users).
• A website for my wife that auto-generates job descriptions (pre-AI!) using semantic similarity. Nobody used it. Not even her.
• An ML model that detects fraudulent insurance applications, saving a local insurer millions.
• A device (design and prototype) for a new colorectal surgery procedure, replacing a more expensive one (colectomy).
• An ML system (again, pre-AI) that tracks millions of ships at sea to detect illegal activity. Sold to coast guards around the world.
• A new product line at Google connecting businesses and users across Google services. Started with voice, expanded to messaging.
• A deep-nn classifier between Pita and Flatbread after I got mad that a restaurant mixed the two. I believe this is AGI.

I live in San Francisco, married to Dekel, father of Yarden. Left a promising career as a Bollywood star after appearing for exactly 3 seconds in a Bollywood movie.
