A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I’m a co-founder of Hexa, a Y Combinator Spring 2026 company building AI agents for industrial workflows. My background is in physics at Imperial College London.

I’m interested in how AI systems behave in practice, where they fail, and how to make them more reliable and safe.

02 / PERSPECTIVE

Building.
Understanding.

My interests sit between building useful AI products and understanding the systems behind them.

Physics is part of that background. So is the practical work of building a company around AI agents. I’m particularly interested in reliability, evaluation and AI safety.

Outside of technology, I run. I’ve competed at the national level in UK distance running.
