Biography

I’m building the Empathetic AI Platform to shape the future of human-AI interaction. By 2030, I believe people will engage with Digital Humans more than with real ones - and I’m working to make that future a reality.

As the Founder & CEO of Ex-human, I’m leading the development of empathetic AI characters that redefine digital companionship. Our platform powers millions of AI personalities, delivering immersive, emotionally intelligent interactions at scale.

Before Ex-human, I spent 7 years as Head of AI at Replika, the world’s most popular AI companion with 20M+ users in the U.S. My work focused on developing the core AI technology, leading R&D, and building one of the most advanced conversational AI systems on the market, designed to make people feel better through meaningful conversations.
