Notes on the physical bottlenecks of AI: compute, power, and the supply chains beneath them.

I’m a startup operator in San Francisco. I started on the floor of an industrial transformer factory at sixteen, sourced GPUs for Nuro’s autonomous vehicles through the 2022 chip shortage, and spent three years investing in early stage startups at Catalyst, where I led six deals and helped build two companies from scratch.

I studied Industrial Engineering at Georgia Tech because of a childhood question: how did ancient armies run expeditions and supply chains without maps? I’ve been chasing versions of that question since, from factory floors to autonomous vehicles to venture capital.

These days I write about the infrastructure under AI. Each piece in the series is a long, careful attempt to understand one constraint.
