Since the acquisition of my company in 2022, I have been focusing on reconnecting with my roots in theoretical physics. My current project involves a systematic course of study in mathematics. I’m beginning with a breadth-first approach, including proof-writing, contest math, and computation; these are my current slots:1

  1. Pure Mathematics for Beginners by Steve Warner

  2. How to Prove It by Daniel Velleman

  3. The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 2 by Rusczyk and Lehoczky

  4. Sage for Undergraduates by Gregory Bard

See my blog posts for more, especially Math Learning Project and Resources for Math Learning (Intro to Math).

I am also active as an investor and advisor to several startups and other projects, especially those related to AI, Urbit, and Bitcoin. I currently live in Los Angeles, CA (Venice Beach).
