My interest in computer science was influenced by the realization that AI could solve complex problems, leading me to shift from studying physics to focusing on AI and technology.

I have always been fascinated by intelligence and the potential of AI to help us understand the universe and answer fundamental questions about reality.

At Tesla, I became very interested in AI applications, particularly in autopilot technology, which led me to explore AI's potential in different domains.

When I was 18, I identified AI as the top problem I wanted to contribute to, and I now believe I can meaningfully work towards solving it.

I have always been inclined towards coding, finding it enjoyable like solving puzzles and math problems.

I was fascinated by how people work and communicate, which led me to study psychology and computer science.

We initially explored automating mechanical engineering but pivoted to focus on programming, recognizing the potential for AI in that space.

I'm super excited about AI; that's the reason why I started developing software.

Games have been a common thread throughout my life, influencing my career by training my mind, leading me to AI programming in the gaming industry, and now using games to train AI systems at DeepMind.
