I’m Ethan — founder, engineer, and builder obsessed with multimodal intelligence, real-time video understanding, and the infrastructure required to make agentic AI actually useful in the wild.

I split my time between NYC and a camper van with my dog, Dany. When I’m not working on Mixpeek, I’m usually filming, hiking, paddling, or diving into papers on embeddings, clustering, and large-scale retrieval systems.

My background blends search infrastructure, distributed systems, and applied machine learning. These days I’m focused on building the “Snowflake for unstructured data”: a modular platform that lets developers index, search, and automate anything across video, images, audio, PDFs, and the web.

If you’re building in AI, adtech, security, or content intelligence — let’s connect.
