Founding Engineer2023 - Sep 2024

Superfeel's vision is to make people timeless. We accept that our time on earth is limited, but that shouldn't stop our children's children from enjoying our wisdom and hard-learned lessons. contributions. My role in this mission was to create the human "digital twin" platform. At the time, we didn't have APIs like VAPI to work with, so I spent a lot of time writing voice AI models from papers, transcription and voice-to-voice models from scratch and writing the infrastructure to host it around the world. I spent a lot of time working on models architected and researched by Google including AudioLM, SoundStorm and SpearTTS. I also created a voice cloning model based on TortoiseTTS.

As it began to compete with more established businesses for lucrative search positions, it was purchased by Koinly.io, the leading crypto tax software company.
