    I am an AI technologist with a decade of experience scaling AI/ML products. At Meta and X, I specialized in leading tiger teams to launch high-stakes 0-to-1 initiatives. Now, I am the Co-Founder of Piris Labs. We are building high-speed photonic interconnects to solve the energy and latency constraints for AI data inference. My current focus is to iterate on our inference service and onboard customers into our platform.
