Founder

I started lyrebird.ai which pioneered voice cloning technology. Lyrebird.ai was sold to Descript, where I led AI for 5 years and shipped a bunch of AI features. Additionally, I have been serving on the board of Descript after lyrebird acquisition (pre-Series A, until now in 2024, post-series C).
