AI researcher at Autonomous

I study what AI can and can't do in the real world. At Autonomous, our research lab, we test one question in practice: can AI invent, build and run a company on its own? We run real experiments, measure where it works and where it breaks, and what it costs.

Before research, I spent years building software companies as an entrepreneur and investor. That's where my questions come from.

Research interests

  • AI agents that build and operate businesses end to end
  • Where large language models fail: reliability, reasoning and long-running work
  • The real cost of AI work, compared with human work
  • How people and AI work best together
