About

Hi, I'm Alex! My passion is working with great people, driven to build great applications at the technology intersections of our time, where data and AI are massively accelerating entire industries like healthcare, financial services, and commerce. I co-founded a startup that won the 2021 Pear VC Student Competition and joined the Cardinal Ventures Spring 2021 Cohort. I also completed an project on deep learning for reinforcement learning agents in Stanford's CS 230 course (recognized as a Fall 2021 Outstanding Project) alongside two LLM-powered projects, BrainWave (enhanced meeting productivity in partnership with BMW) and SIMP-LLM (contextualized drug repurposing leveraging BioBERT embeddings and biomedical knowledge graphs). In 2023, I graduated with a bachelors in Computer Science with Distinction from Stanford. In 2024, I wrapped up my masters in Biomedical Data Science from Stanford School of Medicine focused on applying AI/ML in biology and healthcare. Now I work to automate accounting, tax, and financial health insights for startups on the team at Fondo. We strive to iterate quickly with the latest tools, including AI agents, to help our customers' reach their financial goa
