Hi, I’m John!
Work:
- Currently at a private equity leveraging AI to improve operations
- Co-founded a startup that built consumer AI chatbots, acquired by the PE
- Engineer at Robinhood plumbing ACH and Debit Card transfers
- Intelligence / Interpreter in the Korean military (mandatory conscription). Paju, South Korea / Abu Dhabi, UAE
Interests and random thoughts:
- Philosophy of science: Humans are universal knowledge creators.
- Computer Science: Everything can be expressed as state and computation on state.
- Technology and Science: Politics, philosohpy, and sociology are all derivative of technology and science.
- Modern history of East Asia and Korea: Development of the tigers show economic development precedes democracy, and a brief “dictatorship” may be a precondition in periods of chaos.
- Culture: There is such thing as objective quality in the arts. I love music. Boiler Room, Zelda Soundtracks, Rachmaninoff, New Jeans all are pinnacles of music. I also used to dance. I was in a couple videos from 1 Million back in the day.
This blog is a stream of consciousness than a well-formatted one-pager. Some thoughts may be less refined than others.
