Hey, I'm Bowen.
AI engineer @ Perplexity.
Building with LLM's and AI since 2020. Worked on search ml at Yext, gen ai products for Fiber AI, and agentic systems for Hebbia. Previous side quests teaching solidity for Refraction Labs / bootstrapping my own ai startup.
Graduated from Cornell in 2017 with a finance degree and worked in management consulting for a few years. Couldn't find a spark of joy on the business side, so I taught myself how to code and never looked back. If you're non-technical and want to break into swe, drop me a note on Linkedin (I check it every day for the games).
