I build AI that solves real-world problems. Now at UC Berkeley, working on a stealth ML startup after founding EmpowerAIM and delivering speeches at the United Nations.
Hey, I'm Jerry. I'm passionate about using AI to make the tools we rely on smarter, simpler, and more human, and about putting that technology in the hands of people who need it most.
I'm currently at UC Berkeley ('30) and working on a stealth ML startup in the San Francisco Bay Area. Before that I founded EmpowerAIM, bringing AI tools and education to the Global South; led KidsToKids, an international STEM non-profit; and represented youth voices as a UN Youth Delegate at forums around the world.
Always looking to meet new people and potential co-workers, so reach out.
