Bio

Antonio is the founder of Nori. He studied CS and Architecture at Columbia, holding three research fellowships: Laidlaw, the Data Science Institute, and the Graphics and UI Lab, where he researched teaching robots tasks through VR demonstration. That research is the foundation Nori is built on. He also holds an AI patent, and his previous startup grew to 2,000 users and 1.5M impressions.
