Bio

Alan was a software engineer at NASA's Launch Control Center, and dropped out of Rice CS to be a founding engineer at a PearX backed AI startup ($2 million seed). He then went on to build and scale a consumer AI app to thousands of paying users. Alan has been building in the computer use space since it's first release in Oct 2024, which inspired him to build Cyberdesk, the first self learning computer use agent for developers to automate desktop workflows.
