Hi, I’m Neel

Change your words. Change your world.

Currently dropped out in SF and doing AI research @ standard intelligence! I write blogs and have a newsletter too.

some cool things i've done:

At 18 presented a completely independent research paper @ NeurIPS as one of the youngest researchers (funded by an EV Grant)
Got a $25k scholarship for creating new AI algorithms to make artificial photosynthesis & carbon capture a reality (presented @ AAAI23)
Raised $80k+ for various hackathons while also founding & raising for a startup using RL for a new approach to neuromodulation
(for math nerds I also was the lead dev at the start for sinerider, a game supported by 3Blue1Brown, my fav)
Was the youngest intern at Notion AI!

I love to make cool things and create—my research helps bring this to reality! As a philosophy nerd, I tend to mix concepts and research the boundaries of AI. Though a maker at heart, I am a (self) certified generalist—web dev, game dev, systems, & anime.

It all started with an invitation to Next19—my first (not last) conference—which taught me one of my favorite ideas, "don’t let school take away from your education".

Interested in interacting with the "real world", I became an active member of HackClub, organizing many events (including AngelHacks & the Summer of Making). IMO I made some cool projects too.

Blasting off I gathered experiences—some crazy AI internships, took part in the world’s longest (3,502 mile-long) hackathon, and independent research on turning CO2 into fuel @ NeurIPS! Also hacked on some neuro things in the past.

If you find any of this interesting, or just want to talk, hit me up with an email with something resembling my name [at] this domain! I’m trying to read more, so recommend me some books/music!
