In 1944, an implosion calculation at Los Alamos was projected to take three months. Richard Feynman, just 26, assembled twenty human computers and finished in 20 days. Tempo shock. Reality distortion. Timelines are assumptions, not facts.

Growing up, I didn't attend private school or a T25, but I learned to relentlessly question reality and ship. At 10, balsa bridges. In high school, a self-driving RC car and GPT-2 fine-tuned to do homework in 2019. By 2021, running MEV strategies out of my dorm—then left school. At Berkeley: launched the #1, 2, and 3 ChatGPT plugins, built the fastest retrieval vector db, and multiple top-ranked App Store apps. Over a million users, self-funded, typically shipped in under a week.

This past year, backed by OpenAI, I deployed AI across schools, governments, and enterprises in DC, Palo Alto, and New York. Real tempo shock isn't just speed. It's rhythm, grounded in empathy, care, and relentless focus. In the Software Century, as AGI unlocks deeper human capability, the future belongs to those who quietly and persistently prove reality is theirs to define.
