Hi, I’m the CEO of Cowork AI. For more information, please visit https://cwrk.ai.
I was an Entrepreneur in Residence at Hashed from October 2021 to April 2022. I worked on web3 and crypto projects. Prior to joining Hashed, I was a software engineer at Waymo, formerly known as the Google self-driving car project, working on vision-based detection and classification for self-driving cars using various machine learning techniques.[^1]
