At 15, he built an algorithmic trading system that generated a 52x return over six years. At 17, he published one of the first full PyTorch implementations of YOLOv4. At 18, he built Shelter, a mobile game that reached more than 2.5 million downloads without paid marketing.
He later built Vox Lab, an AI data business that collected and processed 12 petabytes of difficult-to-source training data. The company generated more than $1 million in revenue in 2025.
