student developer from the bay area
Hi. I'm Tristan. I'm a 17 year old from the Bay Area. I like building creative and innovative solutions. I enjoy attending hackathons and building side projects. Many of my past projects have been related to web development so I'm looking to expand my skills towards AI/ML now.
I will be a research engineer at dmodel (YC S24) this summer, improving black-box model interpretability. I will also be building TimeWise, an AI-powered task decomposition tool to break down complex tasks into actionable steps.
In my free time, I tutor students, study math, and research autonomous racing systems (Celeritas).
Previously, I started Cognitio Learning, an educational nonprofit where I designed and taught a curriculum on python, led a course at CENG on modern javascript frameworks, and mentored students at a local math program.
Beyond tech, I enjoy reading philosophy, thinking, and playing the piano. You can learn more about me through my blogs, projects, or reach me at me@tristangee.com, LinkedIn, X/Twitter (i only lurk on x).
