About Louis

Founder, hacker, contrarian, philosopher, artist, athlete. I build systems to think deeper, move faster, and outgrow the human condition — building the infrastructure for a civilization beyond labor, and chasing the edge cases of mind and machine.

Ex-CIA. Former pro gamer. Leukemia survivor at 13. Hypercurious and epistemically obsessed — optimizing for truth, performance, and love.
