About
I grew up the only hearing person in a deaf family, interpreting for them since age 5. After a life-changing trip in India, and a double master in Machine Learning/AI from Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and UC Berkeley, I founded Ava to make the everyday life of 450 million deaf & hard-of-hearing people 24/7 accessible. Today our team has built the fastest captioning system for any conversation, which lets any individual or organization be fully accessible to deaf/hard-of-hearing people. Ava's accessibility system is used in the world's largest companies, schools, conferences, and museums, and won the Advancement for Accessibility Award by the FCC in 2017. I'm a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient and was named Humanitarian of 2017 and Innovator Under 35 by the MIT Technology Review.
